Is there any way to request postgres to immediately fail, or better yet
fail after some small time when trying to obtain a conflicting lock ? I
have ported some old code from Informix (mainly esql) and the default
behaviour with the version I was using was to simply return an error.

If not, is it planned for the furture ? (I am using 7.0.2 now)

If the answer is no I have quite a bit of re-writing to do :-}

Thanks,
Regards,
Ian West
