LOCK.tag( granuarity oflocks)

From
Sumaira Maqsood Ali
Date:
following is taken from postgresql-7.3.2/src/backend/storage/lmgr/readme:

"If we are setting a table level lock
both the blockId and tupleId (in an item pointer this is called
the position) are set to invalid, if it is a page level lock the
blockId is valid, while the tupleId is still invalid.  Finally if
this is a tuple level lock (we currently never do this) then both
the blockId and tupleId are set to valid specifications.  "


is blockId same as tag.objId.blkno?  what field in LOCK.tag is tupleId?
thanks
Sumaira
