I have a very high traffic db with lots of table partitions. The only reliable way to drop the partitioned tables is to prevent any insert/select on the parent table , otherwise, the drop table locks out the inserts, and strangely enough, the drop table command goes into a wait state. During shutdown and restart, I switch the pg_hba.conf to disallow client access for a brief period when the tables are dropped.

Most people around here seem to want 24x7 operation ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
