+     Because readers in 6.5 don't lock data, regardless of transaction
+     isolation level, data read by one transaction can be overwritten by
+     another. In the other words, if a row is returned by
+     <command>SELECT</command> it doesn't mean that this row really exists
+     at the time it is returned (i.e. sometime after the statement or
+     transaction began) nor that the row is protected from deletion or

+     To ensure the actual existance of a row and protect it against
+     concurrent updates one must use <command>SELECT FOR UPDATE</command> or
+     an appropriate <command>LOCK TABLE</command> statement. This should be
+     taken into account when porting applications from previous releases of
+     <productname>Postgres</productname> and other environments.

+     Keep above in mind if you are using contrib/refint.* triggers for
+     referential integrity. Additional technics are required now. One way is
+     to use <command>LOCK parent_table IN SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE</command>
+     command if a transaction is going to update/delete a primary key and
+     use <command>LOCK parent_table IN SHARE MODE</command> command if a
+     transaction is going to update/insert a foreign key.
