So you have a race condition. You might consider excluding temp tables from the query, if that's the most likely source of the problem. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
