If we're going to do that, we should also include the other statements
that disallow execution in a transaction, and we should rename
is_transact_command to something more appropriate (not to mention fix
its comments). A quick grep shows
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/dbcommands.c: 95:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) stmt, "CREATE DATABASE");
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/dbcommands.c: 497:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) dbname, "DROP DATABASE");
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/cluster.c: 175:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) stmt, "CLUSTER");
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/indexcmds.c: 995:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) dbname, "REINDEX DATABASE");
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/vacuum.c: 262:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) vacstmt, stmttype);
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/tablespace.c: 221:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) stmt, "CREATE TABLESPACE");
/home/postgres/pgsql/src/backend/commands/tablespace.c: 407:
PreventTransactionChain((void *) stmt, "DROP TABLESPACE");
Handling the multi-keyword cases is going to take a nontrivial increment
of functionality. Perhaps while we're at it, we could teach this code
about nested /* comments ...
