Second part to the other question ... the function/trigger attempts to be smart ... basically, it checks the updated record to see if there has been any changes that warrant updating the tsearch2 index, and only does it if it needs to ...

Apparently, even if there are no changes, the Lock is being acquired ... kinda like what would happen if you were doing a SELECT * FROM <table> FOR UPDATE; inside of a transaction in order to lock the table ... but, there is nothing in the trigger that is, in fact, doing this ...

Is there something special about a trigger that auto-acquires this sort of lock? If so, anywhere in the docs that mentions this that I should be reading through?

Thanks ...
