I'm guessing > either t1 or c1 are views and so refer to the same row with id "2710501". Another likely theory is both transactions trying to lock the same row as a result of foreign key constraint enforcement. We'd need to know more about t1 and c1 and their FK constraints before being able to say anything definite. (Also, I suspect you need additional commands earlier in the same transactions to get an actual deadlock here, rather than just one update being blocked by the other ...) 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
