I'm using PG_DUMP for backing up a postgres 7.4 database. As I have
seen, the pg_dump aquires a table lock while dump the table's content.
What will happen, if I have a basic table and several inherited tables.
Will the PG_DUMP tool only aquire locks on the inherited tables or on
the parent-table, too?


Is anyone out there who could answer this question or even give me a
hint about where to read about this if there is any writen things about
that?

Thanks!

Yann
