I use it for holding an advisory lock the duration of any of our several environment mangling frameworks. We have fairly complex 1-touch provisioning, decom, upgrade... rename/relocate/snapshot frameworks. The lock is used to enforce cooperatively that no one else launches any of those systems concurrently due to some interesting potential conflicts. > > Thanks -- Jerry Sievers Postgres DBA/Development Consulting e: postgres.consult...@comcast.net p: 312.241.7800 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
