< * Implement dirty reads or shared row locks and use them in RI triggers (?)
> * Implement dirty reads or shared row locks and use them in RI triggers

>   Adding shared locks requires recording the table/rows numbers in a

< * Allow pg_dumpall to use non-text output formats
< * Have pg_dump use multi-statement transactions for INSERT dumps
493,496d488
< * Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches
