I just noticed that DropTrigger uses ShareRowExclusiveLock to lock the relation it's going to drop the trigger on. The comment right above it says that this should match RemoveTriggerById, but that one uses AccessExclusiveLock -- so one of them (or the comment) is not right.
Besides, the docs state that no backend code uses ShareRowExclusiveLock anyway (13.3 Explicit locking). I guess that if the patch to reduce lock strength in alter table goes in again, it'll need to update this chapter to match. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org> -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
