I have to ask one question: On a short review of the discussion and
the patch I didn't find anything about the concurrency issues
involved (at least nodeModifyTable.c didnt show any).
Whats the plan to go forward at that subject? I think the patch needs
to lock tables exclusively (the pg level, not access exclusive) as
long as there is no additional handling...
Thanks for the work Boxuan!
