Userlock needs to go into core, not get removed; this was discussed in a previous "let's clean up contrib/" thread. If it's not going into core in 8.2 then it needs to stay in contrib. People then didn't seem receptive to my suggestion that the existing userlock code was non-copyrightable (on the grounds of being pure interface), but that difficulty no longer exists now that Abhijit has posted his clean-room rewrite (look for "otherlock" in -patches). Perhaps he would be prepared to turn that into a patch against the core... -- Andrew, Supernews http://www.supernews.com - individual and corporate NNTP services ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
