Oh come now, I troll the list once in a while. I sent a copy to him.
My script doesn't really lock anything, it must just be a natural
side-effect of the REINDEX command, kinda like the old VACUUM in
Postgres < 7.2. I can see why, though. It looks like it drops the
index and then recreates it. Not good for integrity if you don't lock.
Ah well, it'll get fixed eventually. How about postgres 8.9?
