Apparently you stopped reading somewhere.  It was pretty thoroughly
destroyed beginning here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-12/msg00025.php

We should have spent more effort trying to think of a solution to the
problem during the 8.3 development cycle.  At the moment we're no
further ahead than we were in December.

Wait a minute.  Would the mentioned patch be this one?
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.devel.general/73330

Because it was later declared not working; see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.devel.general/73334

[HACKERS] savepoints and upgrading locks

2007-05-08 Thread Jeff Davis

This thread here became a TODO item:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg01011.php

During that discussion a patch was produced that nobody seemed to have
objections to. The main problem seemed to be that it wouldn't always
downgrade the lock on a ROLLBACK TO (as I understand it), which doesn't
seem like a problem to me.

Is there a reason this isn't a part of 8.3, or was it just forgotten?

Regards,
Jeff Davis
