for example in WITH w AS (SELECT * FROM foo) SELECT * FROM w, bar ... FOR UPDATE the FOR UPDATE will now affect bar but not foo. This is more useful and consistent than the original 8.4 behavior, which tried to propagate FOR UPDATE into the WITH query but always failed due to assorted implementation restrictions. Even though we are in process of removing those restrictions, it seems correct on philosophical grounds to not let the outer query's FOR UPDATE affect the WITH query. In passing, fix isLockedRel which frequently got things wrong in nested-subquery cases: "FOR UPDATE OF foo" applies to an alias foo in the current query level, not subqueries. This has been broken for a long time, but it doesn't seem worth back-patching further than 8.4 because the actual consequences are minimal. At worst the parser would sometimes get RowShareLock on a relation when it should be AccessShareLock or vice versa. That would only make a difference if someone were using ExclusiveLock concurrently, which no standard operation does, and anyway FOR UPDATE doesn't result in visible changes so it's not clear that the someone would notice any problem. Between that and the fact that FOR UPDATE barely works with subqueries at all in existing releases, I'm not excited about worrying about it. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
