The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8307 Logged by: Michael Enke Email address: michael.e...@wincor-nixdorf.com PostgreSQL version: 9.1.8 Operating system: Linux/CentOS 6.2 Description:
Hi, after hitting the above error and found that this is a long lasting one which nobody knows how to reproduce, I found a way to reproduce it: In one session create tables in a schema, in another session drop that schema. Here comes my test script: #!/bin/sh DB=testdb # change if you need NUM=2000 # adjust so that creation takes enough time to issue drop schema CREATE=/tmp/$DB.sql START=/tmp/testdb.start END=/tmp/testdb.end LANG=C rm -f $START $END >$CREATE for I in $(seq $NUM); do echo "create table t$I(at text, bt text, ct text, dt text);" >> $CREATE echo "create table tt$I as select g1.*, t$I.* from g1, t$I where 1=2;" >> $CREATE echo "drop table t$I;" >> $CREATE done ( psql -U postgres -d template1 <<! \set ON_ERROR_STOP drop database $DB; create database $DB; \connect $DB create schema testschema; set search_path = testschema,"\$user",public; create table g1(ag text, bg text, cg text, dg text); \echo now create $NUM tables \o $START \o /dev/null \i $CREATE \o $END ! rm -f $CREATE sleep 2 pg_dump -U postgres $DB > testdb.dump )& while [ ! -f $START ]; do usleep 100000; done sleep 1 psql -U postgres -d $DB -c "drop schema testschema cascade" 2>&1 | grep "^NOTICE" if [ -f $END ]; then echo "too late" fi wait rm -f $START $END # end script There are 3 possible errors reported (I executed 10x): 1: Deadlock detected: 1x 2: Could not open relation for Create: 4x 3: cache lookup failed: 5x In case of 2 or 3 pg_dump reports above error. If I modify the creation to only one line: echo "create table tt$I as select g1.* from g1 where 1=2;" >> $CREATE then in 100% I get the case number 2. Hope it helps tracking down the reason. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
