Re: Prevent internal error at concurrent CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

I found that multiple sessions concurrently execute CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
for a same function, the error "tuple concurrently updated" is raised. This is
an internal error output by elog, also the message is not user-friendly.

I also found the same error is raised when concurrent ALTER FUNCTION commands are
executed. I've added a patch to fix this in the similar way.

FWIW, the same error is raised also with concurrent GRANT/REVOKE on a
database:
