I was about to say that then it's a known issue --- two ANALYZE operations running concurrently for the same table can generate a "simple_heap_insert" or "simple_heap_update" failure from trying to update the same pg_statistic row at the same time. This is fairly harmless (as long as one of 'em succeeds, who cares if the other doesn't?). However, looking back at your original message, you said the error mentioned "simple_heap_delete", didn't you? Hmm ... how old is your PG installation? ANALYZE hasn't used simple_heap_delete since 7.1... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
