I've read over the docs on Concurrency Control but still not clear
about when transactions block other updates, and how to deal with that
on the application level.
If I do a BEGIN and an UPDATE in one psql session and then try and do
an UPDATE in another psql session that UPDATE waits until either a
COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
Is it common for applications using Postgresql to set a timer on
updates and abort?
