I finally got 7.3.2 installed, and confirmed that the problem does not exist on that version. So this is something that's limited to the 7.2.x tree. Which, I guess, means that it's not going to get fixed for that tree (I assume that 7.2.x is effectively end-of-lifed)... On 7.3.2, a concurrent VACUUM appears to slow inserts down A LOT, but it won't deadlock them. -- Kevin Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
