It sounds like we're in violent agreement. I'm not sure what I said
which might have led you to believe I felt otherwise.
[reviews thread]
The suggestion you felt was "more disparaging" was:
: This behavior makes Read Committed mode unsuitable for
: many UPDATE or DELETE commands with joins or subqueries
You do realize that what is already in the documentation, for which
this was a suggested replacement, was?:
: This behavior makes Read Committed mode unsuitable for
: commands that involve complex search conditions
I'm not seeing where I made it more disparaging; I was trying to
clarify under what circumstances it was a problem. If you have a
suggestion for a better way to phrase the part I left alone, feel
free to suggest something.
