Postgresql uses MVCC (multi-verson concurrency control) so tables aren't locked 
for transactions but each operation only sees previously committed updates.

It does have transactional DDL. But you should go to PostgreSQL web
site and search for transactional DDL since different vendors
implement this differently. I believe they compare the different
vendors too.

Does PostgreSQL have non-transactional tables like MySQL?
I am not trying to start a holy war, just asking since I
do not know.

Personally I'd like to see it go down so more people will start
supporting PostgreSQL - which is a far better database anyway
