Thanks.

      It is possible to use <link linkend="sql-altertable"><command>ALTER
      TABLE ATTACH/DETACH PARTITION</command></link> to perform these
      operations with a weaker lock, thus reducing interference with
      concurrent operations on the partitioned table.

Note that in order for DETACH+DROP to use a lower lock level, it has to be
DETACH CONCURRENTLY.  ATTACH is implicitly uses a lower lock level, but for
DETACH it's only on request.
