To me, "performance buster" is better than "random, unrepeatable deadlock failures". In any case, if we find we *can't* implement this in a non-performance-busting way, then it would be time enough to look at alternatives that force the user to manage the problem for us. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
