yikes -- this is huge, huge price to pay, IMHO.  Think about DDL that
implies index creation such as adding unique constraint to a table,
many postgresql users (including me) take advantage of that in update
systems to production databases.



I didn't understand that quite well. How does it help to run CREATE
INDEX inside a transaction ?

Thanks,
Pavan
