I got a bunch of hits on "select for update queue" from
http://www.pgsql.ru/db/pgsearch/ , for instance

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2003-05/msg00342.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2001-02/msg00977.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2001-11/msg00378.php

There seems to be some disconnect between that search engine and the
archives though. For instance it also pointed me to

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2002-11/msg00001.php

which does not exist; in fact archives.postgresql.org has hardly
anything for that whole month of pgsql-sql. Marc, any idea what's wrong
there? The data was obviously there last time Oleg trolled for it.

regards, tom lane
