It says, "pg_dump does not block other operations on the database
while it is working. (Exceptions are those operations that need to
operate with an exclusive lock, such as most forms of ALTER TABLE.)"
So pg_dump actually performs an ALTER TABLE sometimes? :S
No it does not - it however blocks operations like ALTER TABLE while it
is running(which is exactly how I read the above statement).
