I don't understand your question. What's the problem with holding the extend lock for the index relation while you extend it? Certainly you want only a single process creating a new extent in the index, right? I guess the question is when are the extents created, and what concurrency do you expect from that operation. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]surnet.cl>) "La naturaleza, tan frágil, tan expuesta a la muerte... y tan viva" ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
