Will stating transaction lock the DB and the second user will wait for transaction to complete?Seems like letting the create table fail would be a reliable way to determine what is happening. But this procedure overall just seems better avoided. Can’t you just run an installer/updater separate from running the application?
Interesting idea bout the installer.
Except those tables will contain some additional info about the schema and the application.
So if I create/remove new table, either in my app or from psql the record will need to be inserted/deleted.
Thank you.
