The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      18763
Logged by:          lyz
Email address:      linyuzhe.lyz@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 13.7
Operating system:   Linux
Description:

in first connection

test5=# create table a1(c int);
CREATE TABLE
test5=# create table a2(c int);
CREATE TABLE
test5=# create view v as select * from a1;
CREATE VIEW

then rename relation names and replace view in one txn, but not commit. 

test5=# begin;
BEGIN
test5=*# alter table a1 rename to a3;
ALTER TABLE
test5=*# alter table a2 rename to a1;
ALTER TABLE
test5=*# create or replace view v as select * from a1;
CREATE VIEW

in second connection:

test5=# select pg_get_viewdef('v');

it will be stuck by AccessShareLock of 'v'.

Then we commit txn in first connection,
the result of second connection wii be: 

 pg_get_viewdef 
----------------
  SELECT a3.c  +
    FROM a3;
(1 row)

 old definition but using new relation name.
