Yeah, you also said:

MySQL has really crappy table locking, and blocks everything when certain slow operations are being done. We're looking into replacing it with Postgresql, which is said to scale better. But, first I have to adapt the code, change the table definitions, make sure it works on my home server, set up a test installation here before we go converting hundreds of megabytes of databasey goodness willy-nilly. --Brion 21:16 Oct 29, 2002 (UTC) 

So what do we need table locking for? You want me to fix it for you? Should I join the developers mailing list?
