Query goal: | Find the derived tables (views and materialized views) that have a column with the xid type, i.e., these use the data from the hidden xmin column of a base table. If one uses optimistic approach for dealing with the concurrent data modifications, then xmin values should be presented by views and used in routines that modify or delete rows. |
Notes about the query: | In the returned body of subquery of view/materialized view the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. |
Query type: | General (Overview of some aspect of the database.) |
