You are assuming that the problem is that there is a lock conflict. This is not the case; you'd not get an error message (unless the command had specified NOWAIT). The problem here seems to be that you are trying to dump a schema or table that the dumping user has no access to. You may either grant those permissions, or create the dump with another user. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
