Thanks for those pointers, it certainly looks like the same issue (the only difference being the size of the limit) and there has been a good amount of discussion there. I'll try the CTE workaround, although that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. >From the discussions in the 1st thread, I wonder wether raising the isolation level to repeatable read would also fix the issue ? In any case, testing will take time because the bug triggers less than once a day and I haven't yet managed to reproduce it locally. ps: sorry I'm only seeing your answer now, it helps if you cc me when answering the list. -- Vincent de Phily -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
