----------------------------
This module and associated pl/pgsql functions have been implemented
to provide long locking support required by Web Feature Service
specification (https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=7176)
It is based on original work by David Blasby <dblasby@openplans.org>
and has been modified and packaged by Sandro Santilli <strk@refractions.net>.
Usage:
-- Enable long transaction support
SELECT EnableLongTransactions();
-- Disable long transaction support
SELECT DisableLongTransactions();
-- Check updates and deletes of rows in
-- given table for being authorized.
-- Identify rows using <column> value.
SELECT CheckAuth([<schema>], <table>, <column>)
-- Set lock/authorization for specific row in table
-- <authid> is a text value, <expires> is a timestamp
-- defaulting to now()+1hour.
-- Returns 1 if lock has been assigned, 0 otherwise
-- (already locked by other auth)
SELECT LockRow([<schema>], <table>, <rowid>, <authid>, [<expires>])
-- Remove all locks held by specified authorization id.
-- Returns the number of locks released.
SELECT UnlockRows(<authid>)
-- Add an authorization token to be used in current
-- transaction.
SELECT AddAuth(<authid>)
WARNING! users must use serializable transaction level
(see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/transaction-iso.html)
otherwise locking mechanism would break
