I think that makes sense. If you want to use assertions, you need to run in serializable mode, otherwise you get an error if you modify anything covered by an assertion. In the future, someone could enhance this for other isolation levels, but as Josh has pointed out, that would likely just be reimplementing SSI with big locks. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
