Can someone explain this? I seem to have a query which is being blocked
by a lock. I was under the impression that selects are never blocked.
Am I missing something or is this bad behaviour?
I am using slony and am synchronising a slave for the first time. In
the hope of seeing some progress on the slave I attempt to perform a
select count(*) on one of the tables.
The select just stops. ps shows this:
postgres 5987 0.0 0.4 19180 4188 ? S 15:16 0:00 postgres: postgres testdb 192.168.1.111(33598) SELECT waiting
A query of blocking locks shows this:
