Hi all and Michael.

An MS-SQL experienced developer warned me that on MS-SQLsvr a whole table
gets locked if a certain percentage or amount of records are locked due to
an update. And then shortly nothing goes.
Does there exist a similar behaviour on pgSQL? Get tables locked if too many
records are beein updated? Or something elses?
