I don't see anything better than documenting it using 2 extra lines: LOCK [ TABLE ] [ ONLY ] name [, ...] [ IN lockmode MODE ] LOCK TABLE tablename [ IN lockmode MODE ] [ NOWAIT ] LOCK [ TABLE ] [ ONLY ] tablename IN lockmode MODE [ NOWAIT ] Ok it looks like a mess, but that's what it is :) And every user with "LOCK tablename NOWAIT" in their code would have to change that to "LOCK TABLE tablename NOWAIT". Is there no way to reduce that to only be a problem with tables named the same as the new objects we want to add support for?
