Yeah, I suspect a locking issue too, but you won't find out what it is unless you can capture the content of pg_locks at a time when the proc is being delayed. You could try making the proc do LOCK TABLE ... IN ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE NOWAIT inside an exception block, catching the error, and logging the contents of pg_locks to someplace. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
