The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 7594 Logged by: Reinhard Max Email address: m...@suse.de PostgreSQL version: 9.1.6 Operating system: openSUSE Description:
Is it intentional, that concurrent GRANT statements for the same database may result in a "tuple concurrently updated" error? It can be reproduced by running the following loop from two shells at the same time: while true; do psql -c "GRANT ALL ON DATABASE foo TO foo" ; done I found that wrapping the GRANT statement in a transaction and explicitly locking pg_table in SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE mode makes the error disappear. According to the documentation of the lock modes, statements like VACUUM acquire this lock by itself, so I wonder if GRANT ON DATABASE should do the same. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
