Re: Curosity question regarding "LOCK" NOWAIT

Has there been any discussion regarding adding a time-limited version of NOWAIT, say: “WAITONLY 50” (milliseconds), when dealing the explicit LOCK TABLE or the SELECT…FOR(SHARE|UPDATE) commands?

we have a proposed patch for 9.3 at
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/50339B3D.8040403@cybertec.at
that adds "SET lock_timeout = N;" to have a time-limited wait for locks.

Best regards,
