Thanks Craig for making me look like an idiot. I feel bad now. When I posted I suspected that what you have just replied with was the case.
I'm sure that wasn't Craig's intent. I'd hazard a guess that you've been using Access or a similar single-file-based DB where the you simply point the front-end at the data file, and the front-end looks after locking and concurrency (I think - I may be way off on this). PostgreSQL and other "heavyweight" DBMSs require a different mind-set - think of the server as a black box at which you fire off your SQL and get back the results.
