COPY to unlogged tbl "hung"/locked the table MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Pg-Spam-Score: 1.8 (+) X-Archive-Number: 201209/12 X-Sequence-Number: 39953 Thank you Tom for the suggestion and the workaround. I think we will be able to hold off on the temporary workaround. Would the 2nd processes in the deadlock show up in pg_locks? (It didn't) An insert from another table that i created to test the datafile did show up as blocked. I got confirmation from developers that no other process was running at the time. Also, even after a reboot, the COPY to the unlogged table hung, until it was dropped and recreated. After the latest occurrence, we took some downtime and I have rebuilt all unlogged tables, no recurrences yet. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/What-else-could-I-ve-done-COPY-to-unlogged-tbl-hung-locked-the-table-tp5721983p5722754.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
