My thought was that sinval catchup might require acquiring a relation lock (e.g. on pg_class), and that might block waiting for a lock. Not sure it's possible, but even if it can't happen today, it doesn't seem impossible that we might want to let it happen in the future. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
