Can I throw one more question out there on this subject?
There's something that I view as inconsistent behavior with
respect to DDL statements and MVCC and was wondering if this
would have any impact on the discussion (the following is with
6.5.3):
Session #1:
emptoris=> begin;
BEGIN
emptoris=> select * from test;
value
-----
1
(1 row)
Session #2:
emptoris=> begin;
BEGIN
emptoris=> select * from test;
value
-----
1
(1 row)
Session #1:
emptoris=> drop table test;
DROP
Session #2:
emptoris=> select * from test;
ERROR: mdopen: couldn't open test: No such file or directory
Now it would seem to me that if DROP TABLE is going to be
ROLLBACK-able, then Session #2, in a MVCC environment should
never see:
ERROR: mdopen: couldn't open test: No such file or directory
but it does, because the "effect" of the drop table is an action
that is seen by all sessions, as though it were "committed". So I
am now wondering, are there any
Multi-Versioning/Multi-Generational RDBMS that support
ROLLBACK-able DDL statements in transactions...
Just curious,
Mike Mascari
