Tom Lane 614ffb26d1 Obtain required table lock during cross-table constraint updates.
Sometimes a table's constraint may depend on a column of another
table, so that we have to update the constraint when changing the
referenced column's type.  We need to have lock on the constraint's
table to do that.  ATPostAlterTypeCleanup believed that this case
was only possible for FOREIGN KEY constraints, but it's wrong at
least for CHECK and EXCLUDE constraints; and in general, we'd
probably need exclusive lock to alter any sort of constraint.
So just remove the contype check and acquire lock for any other
table.  This prevents a "you don't have lock" assertion failure,
though no ill effect is observed in production builds.

We'll error out later anyway because we don't presently support
physically altering column types within stored composite columns.
But the catalog-munging is basically all there, so we may as well
make that part work.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
