Re: transaction blocking inserts in postgresql 7.3

Let us know in about a month what your database references look like :-) without
table locks, which cause the same problem that you're trying to fix, I don't

processes going .... in application code.

I've been proved wrong on many things, I hope for your sake that this is one of
them :-)
