< * Implement dirty reads or shared row locks and use them in RI triggers (?)
> * Implement dirty reads or shared row locks and use them in RI triggers

>   Adding shared locks requires recording the table/rows numbers in a

>   One idea is to store the table/row numbers in a separate table and set
>   a bit on the row indicating looking in this new table is required to
>   find any shared row locks.

f7667e4cfa Update DELETE FROM:
< * Allow DELETE to handle table aliases for self-joins
> * Allow an alias to be provided for the target table in UPDATE/DELETE
276,279c276,282
<   There is no way to create a table alias for the deleted table for use
<   in the DELETE WHERE clause.  The agreed approach is to allow a USING
<   clause to specify additional tables.  UPDATE already has an optional
<   FROM clause for this purpose.
>   This is not SQL-spec but many DBMSs allow it.
>
> * Allow additional tables to be specified in DELETE for joins
>
>   UPDATE already allows this (UPDATE...FROM) but we need similar
>   functionality in DELETE.  It's been agreed that the keyword should
>   be USING, to avoid anything as confusing as DELETE FROM a FROM b.
