Define "freezes". What happens exactly --- is the pg_dump or its backend consuming CPU, or just sitting? What do ps and pg_stat_activity and pg_locks show that it's doing? (I'm speculating in particular that someone is holding an exclusive lock on one of the tables to be dumped --- if so pg_locks would tell the tale.) 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
