 Reported by:  kinai

MySQL is happy with the singular 'LOCK TABLE' (rather than 'LOCK
TABLES') which should work with both MySQL and PostgreSQL.  Committed
that changes to CVS.

I get this error :


Warning: pg_query() [function.pg-query]: Query failed: ERROR: syntax
error on or near "cache" at character 13 in
/var/www/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 45


Fatal error: ERROR: syntax error on or near "cache" at character 13
query: LOCK TABLES cache WRITE in
/var/www/drupal/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 62


Someone could solve this problem ?


Thanks

The SQL Command : LOCK TABLES like used in bootstrap.inc is only
specified for MySQL, not for PostgreSQL.
The UNLOCK TABLES SQL command is not implemented in PostgreSQL. 


Someone could solve this problem ?

this issue still exists, i've verified it on a fresh cvs install w/
pgsql 8

i fixed the problem in my installation, by changing the syntax to:


LOCK TABLE {cache}


it's table, not tables. and i dropped the 'write' bit.


furthermore, pgsql does not support the UNLOCK command, so i had to
comment the unlock tables command. unless there are more lock/unlock
commands elsewhere in the code, this works fine for me.


according to pgsql docs, UNLOCK is automatically performed at
transaction end, which is why there is no such command.

The patch adds two functions to lock and unlock tables.

Updated, without unnecessary changes.

Cvbge says he tested pgsql, I applied to a mysql one, saved system
settings and looks OK.

Worked, yet not worked ...
This version does not use 
<?php
 db_query("{$table}" ) 
?>

 syntax. I promise I won't do that again!
