This thread here became a TODO item:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg01011.php
During that discussion a patch was produced that nobody seemed to have
objections to. The main problem seemed to be that it wouldn't always
downgrade the lock on a ROLLBACK TO (as I understand it), which doesn't
seem like a problem to me.
Is there a reason this isn't a part of 8.3, or was it just forgotten?
Regards,Jeff Davis
