Re: Table rewrites vs. pending AFTER triggers

Is there why we allow DDLs inside a transaction and allow it to be rolled back? If we commit the previous transaction,
assoon as we encounter a DDL, and commit the DDL too (without waiting for commit) will it be affecting some use cases?
<br/><br />I actually mean to say that DDLs can be declared as self-committing. That would get rid of these
exceptions.<br/><br />Am i missing something?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Gokul.<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan
