Hi,
When I attempt to execute the non-query "GRANT SELECT ON TABLE
<schema>.<table> TO <role>", I occasionally encounter an exception from
postgresql, 'tuple concurrently updated'.

I think the tuple it is referring to is the role.

Our app is multi-threaded, and it is very possible for more than one
thread to be attempting to grant permissions to the same role at the
same time. (the situation is that we are creating tables on the fly, and
each time we create a new table we have to grant permissions to a role
so it can read from it).

In my view, it is a bug that postgresql cannot handle multiple
concurrent grants to a role.

We're using the latest version of postgresql (9.3) in the context of an
AWS RDS.

Should I enter a bug report, or can someone convince me that we should
single-thread this part of our app (or work around it somehow)?


My guess this is covered here:

In the meantime, I would say single thread is the order of the day.
