I'm not sure that's the case. It seems like it should lock just as multiple backends would now. One process would succeed and the others would error. Maybe I'm missing something? Either way, I don't think the behavior makes any sense. Parallel safe seems more sensible. -- -David da...@pgmasters.net -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
