Ok, currently, table can't be dropped if SELECTed by another
running transaction.
Would we like to change this ?!
Comments?

Also, I have yet another test for Oracle locking/table
dropping - help me please:
CREATE TABLE test (x integer, y integer);
INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, 1);
1. In session T1 run
LOCK TABLE test IN EXCLUSIVE MODE;
2. In session T2 run
UPDATE test SET y = 0 WHERE x = 0;
-- shouldn't be blocked by T1 if ROW EXCLUSIVE
-- lock is acquired by T2 only when row found
3. Now again in session T1
DROP TABLE test;
-- will be this blocked ?
TIA,
Vadim
