Hi,

Today I got (unfortunately) reminded that this statement, in 
sql-altertable.html under VALIDATE CONSTRAINT, is not true anymore:

The value of separating validation from initial creation of the 
constraint is that validation requires a lesser lock on the table than 
constraint creation does.

Seems to affect all versions >= 9.1.



Regards,
Marko Tiikkaja
