Why aren't you using a standard partitioned table, cf http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/ddl-partitioning.html The stuff associated with table inheritance is actually designed for the use-case of adding and dropping child tables, and we might consider any problems therein as something to be fixed. Whereas the fact that changing a view locks it is unlikely to change. 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
