Also MySQL, when using the default MyISAM back-end. In contrast,
PostgreSQL uses MVCC to permit lock-free reading in most cases (you
keep reading the version you can "see", and a writer happily tinkers
with a new version; until the writer COMMITs, its version is invisible
to you). There's more overhead to the PostgreSQL system, but it scales
better with multiple writers. (MySQL is primarily designed for dynamic
web sites, where there are thousands of readers but only (relatively)
occasional writers.)
