Обсуждение: Tests "with" and "alter_table" suffer from name clash

Hi,

With unlucky scheduling you can get a failure like this:

Suggested fix attached.

Looks reasonable.  We really should avoid using such common
names for short-lived tables in any case --- it's an invitation
to trouble.  So I'd vote for changing the other use of "test", too.

In fact only REL_10_STABLE had the problem, because commit 2cf8c7aa
already fixed the other instance in later branches.  I'd entirely
forgotten that earlier discussion, which apparently didn't quite go
far enough.   So I only needed to push the with.sql change.  Done.

Hah, I thought this felt familiar.  So the real problem is that
my backpatch (b15a8c963) only fixed half of the hazard.  Sigh.
