Hi I have a table partitioned on a daily basis. Data is
constantly inserted in this table. When I attempt to drop a partition that is
not used(i.e previous day’s), the drop table waits for a loooong
time.This is probably due to the fact that the old partitioned table is being
referenced in a query plan(the insert into the parent table uses triggers). How can I prevent the locking out of the drop table? I tried
truncate table but it is worse. It locks out the inserts in the parent table
and then it waits.(hence causing a deadlock) |
