Make materialized views participate in predicate locking
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Matviews have been discarded from needing predicate locks since 3bf3ab8
and their introduction.  At this point, there was no concurrent flavor
of REFRESH yet, hence there was no meaning in having materialized views
look at read/write conflicts with concurrent transactions using
themselves the serializable isolation level because they could only be
refreshed with an access exclusive lock.  CONCURRENTLY, on the contrary,
allows reads and writes during a refresh as it holds a share update
exclusive lock.

Some isolation tests are added to show the effect of the change, with a
combination of one table and a matview based on it, using a mix of
REFRESH CONCURRENTLY and read/write queries.

This could arguably be considered as a bug, but as it is a subtle
behavior change potentially impacting applications no backpatch is
done.

# Test write skew with a materialized view.
#
# This test uses two serializable transactions: one that refreshes a
# materialized view containing a summary of some order information, and
# one that looks at the materialized view while doing writes on its
# parent relation.
#
# Any overlap between the transactions should cause a serialization failure.
