Hey,
I have a unit testing framework, where every test is ran in
BEGIN..ROLLBACK, to ensure that data created during testing is never
persisted.
Now, my question is: is there any way to tell postgres that
"Look, I will never ask you for a COMMIT, therefore you don't have to lock
anything for me,
you just have to do a 'snapshot', fake my writes in my view of the world,
then destroy all this on rollback".
This way, I would be able to run my many test cases in parallel, without
worrying about locks/deadlocks between different testcases.
Something like BEGIN READ ONLY TRANSACTION WITH TEMPORARY WRITES...
I of course researched this a little bit, and I know that there are no out
of the box syntax for this, but is there maybe some combinations of options
which I can abuse to provide this?
(I can naturally do this on the filesystem with snapshots and LVM, but I
would like something in postgres, so it doesn't become a sysadmin
nightmare.)
Thank you for your ideas,
Gergely Risko
