I'm a bit surprised actually as it sounded like you were aiming to avoid the table lock. A TRUNCATE does require an exclusive lock on the table. It still has advantages over DROP in that there is no window when the table does not exist and any existing references to the table from views or functions will continue to function. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's RemoteDBA services! -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
