Disclaimer- neither have I, but..
When I last recall this discussion (likely in some bar in Europe), the
problem was also that an independent session would be able to:
a) see that the table exists (due to SnapshotNow being used for lookups)
b) see rows in the table
Part 'a' is something which I think would be good to fix (but hard),
and it sounds like this patch might make part 'b' happen, which I think
makes the part 'a' problem worse. I'm guessing this isn't a problem for
the TRUNCATE case because the second session would still be looking at
the pre-TRUNCATE files on disk, right? Is that reference to exactly
which files on disk to look at being used to address the CREATE problem
too..?
That said, I love the idea of having a way to drop tuples in w/o having
to go back and rewrite them three times..
Thanks,
Stephen
