Description:        ALTER TABLE ... NO INHERIT problem
Details: 

Hi.

I performed "NO INHERIT" command to separate a table, then I got following
error.
This problem is reproducible on simple test.

:Session A
  CREATE TABLE p_tbl (id int primary key);
  CREATE TABLE c1_tbl (LIKE p_tbl INCLUDING INDEXES, CHECK (id between 1 and
100)) INHERITS(p_tbl);
  CREATE TABLE c2_tbl (LIKE p_tbl INCLUDING INDEXES, CHECK (id between 101
and 200)) INHERITS(p_tbl);
  INSERT INTO c1_tbl SELECT generate_series(1,100);
  INSERT INTO c2_tbl SELECT generate_series(101,200);
  BEGIN;
  ALTER TABLE c1_tbl NO INHERIT p_tbl;
:Session B
  SELECT * FROM p_tbl;
  (Blocking)
:Session A
  COMMIT;
:Session B (error occures)
  ERROR:  could not find inherited attribute "id" of relation "c1_tbl"
  LOCATION:  make_inh_translation_lists, prepunion.c:996


The comment in tablecmds.c says "AccessShareLock is probably enough".
But it actually needs more strong lock mode ?

ATExecDropInherit(Relation rel, RangeVar *parent)
        /*
         * AccessShareLock on the parent is probably enough, seeing that DROP
         * TABLE doesn't lock parent tables at all.  We need some lock since 
we'll
         * be inspecting the parent's schema.
         */
        parent_rel = heap_openrv(parent, AccessShareLock);

Best Regards.
