I have a large amount of date that I need to select from in order to
generate reports (might take 20 minutes).  I also have data continuously
being inserted.. I don't mind if the select results doesn't contain the
recently added rows (or it can -- I don't care).

I've searched the archive and found some promising leads.. (relevant
snippets quoted below)

"There is one expection, later 3.23 versions under special conditions
can insert and select concurrently, but this is done in such a way as to
avoid dirty reads."

and 

"Note that this patch will allow you to have concurrent inserts as
selects are running, but only if there is no holes after deleted rows in
the able.  In this case the insert changes to a normal 'locked' insert
until all holes are filled.  I have alread updated the online manual
about this!"

I just can't figure out what the syntax is (or patch I need to apply) in
order to do this.  Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Thanks, 
Eric Mayers
