Hello,
I am looking for a database system where it is not too
complicate to integrate some special locking mechanisms
and I am considering Postgres as an candidate.
I have seen that up to now, Postgres uses relation level
locking.
To get a rough estimate of how long the integration of
new locking methods would take and
how complicate this would be, let's take as example the
integration of row/page level locking into Postgres.
- which parts of the code would have really to be accessed/changed/modified?
- what would be the time estimate to do so?
Thanks a lot in advance for any answer.
