PostgreSQL 9.1.x I try to enable my trigger "ALTER TABLE cool_tbl ENABLE TRIGGER trg_for_cool_tbl;"
I notice that it gets blocked by another backend doing "select xxx from cool_tbl;" (of course, my pain is if this transaction lasts for minutes, instead of seconds) I understand that [postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/explicit-locking.html] tells us The request for "AccessExclusiveLock" on relation R will be blocked by the existing "AccessShareLock" on relation R. But I cannot reconcile that with . . . How could doing ENABLE of a trigger hurt the transaction that has thus far only done a SELECT on the table ? Thanks for your insight, -dvs-
