Pls correct me if I'm wrong though. It won't filter out row-level locks on rows within tables. You're probably looking at a transient row lock taken by a blocked SELECT FOR UPDATE. You didn't show exactly what the real problem was, but I'm wondering if this is foreign-key conflicts in a pre-8.1 PG version. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
