I agree. It seems some of the locking instructions in the earlier sections 31.11.1 - 31.11.4 are contradictory to the later "generic" steps given in "31.11.5. Generic steps to add a new node to the existing set of nodes". I'm assuming the generic steps are the "correct" steps e.g. generic steps say get the lock on new node tables AFTER the publication of new node. e.g. generic steps say do NOT get a table lock on the node one you are (first) joining to. ~~~ Furthermore, the generic steps are describing attaching a new N+1th node to some (1 ... N) other nodes. So I think in the TWO-node case (section 31.11.1) node2 should be treated as the "new" node that you are attaching to the "first" node1. IMO the section 31.11.1 example should be reversed so that it obeys the "generic" pattern. e.g. It should be doing the CREATE PUBLICATION pub_node2 first (since that is the "new" node) ------ Kind Regards, Peter Smith.
