It looks to me like there is an explicit LOCK TABLE statement being executed for a mode which conflicts with a normal vacuum or analyze, even without truncation. The cited change *avoids* this sort of cancellation for the truncation phase, so it is not getting that far. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
