lock entire database

In PGSQL, is it possible to lock the entire database??!!
This could be done with locking with individual table locking, but any
way to lock the entire db??
If this is the only way, how do i get the listing of the tables? thru
'\d' ?? and then 'cut' or 'sed ' on it to get the individual table names?
