My OLTP transactions are usually 5-50ms in length. common sense tells me, that if I disallow new transactions for 100ms, I am more than likely to have waited for all existing ones to have finished and can do my 1 ms of "take snapshot + commit" and let all the waiting transactions to commence. If the database is running longer transactions, there can be a GUC to adjust the time CUNCURRENT CREATE INDEX will wait. For example for trx'es mostly in 0.5-2 sec range the wait could be set to 3 sec. ------------- Hannu ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
