Hi, I've got a problem with a query run on production system. We've got some data export in a serializable transaction, and, 2 days ago, someone ran a DDL ( alter table foo add column ba test default 'blabla'), and then, the data export is empty. I try to reproduce the scenario below : begin ; drop table if exists test ; create table test ( id serial primary key, t text ) ; insert into test ( t ) values ( 'test1') ; insert into test ( t ) values ( 'test2') ; insert into test ( t ) values ( 'test3') ; commit ; -- session 1 |-- session 2 begin ; | alter table test | add column toto int | default 1 ; | |begin ; |set transaction isolation level serializable ; |select * from test ; | | commit ; | | id | t | toto |----+---+------ |(0 rows) | |commit ; | |select * from test ; | id | t | toto |----+-------+------ | 1 | test1 | 1 | 2 | test2 | 1 | 3 | test3 | 1 |(3 rows) I can't understand why, in the 2nd session, my serialisable transaction see 0 rows ? It's not true, there is rows. If the DDL in the first transaction doesn't have 'default 1', the transaction see the 3 rows. If my transaction in the 2nd session is 'read committed', the same. What's happen with the the serializable transaction and the default ?
