More update If I run the concurrent re index locally (psql session) it works fine, but when run via a connection through php I get the error
Can't be slon, since I can do this locally, but why would postgres have an issue with a remote connection? the basic script: $connectString = "host=server dbname=clsdb user=postgres password=password"; $dbconn = pg_connect($connectString); if (!$dbconn) { print "Could not connect"; die(); } $result = pg_query( $dbconn, "CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY prc_temp_idx_impressions_log_date ON tracking.impressions USING btree (log_date) TABLESPACE trackingindexspace;" ); Error about a lock: *2009-10-07 22:18:02 PDT clsdb postgres 10.13.200.70(46706) ERROR: deadlock detected* *2009-10-07 22:18:02 PDT clsdb postgres 10.13.200.70(46706) DETAIL: Process 20939 waits for ShareLock on virtual transaction 16/43817381; blocked by process 1874.* * Process 1874 waits for ExclusiveLock on relation 17428 of database 16384; blocked by process 20939.* *2009-10-07 22:18:02 PDT clsdb postgres 10.13.200.70(46706) STATEMENT: CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY prc_temp_idx_impressions_log_date2 ON tracking.impressions USING btree (log_date) TABLESPACE trackingindexspace* *Thanks* *Tory *
