Hello, hackers we witnessed this slightly misleading error in production and it took us a while to figure out what was taking place. Below are reproduction steps:
-- setup create table trun(cate int4); -- session 1 begin; truncate table trun; -- session 2 grant insert on table trun to postgres; -- session 1 end; -- session 2: ERROR: XX000: tuple concurrently updated LOCATION: simple_heap_update, heapam.c:4474 Apparently the tuple in question is the pg_class entry of the table being truncated. I didn't look too deep into the cause, but I'm certain the error message could be improved at least. Regards, Nick.
