- Changing fillfactor and autovacuum storage parameters acquires a <literal>SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE</literal>
lock.
+ <literal>SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE</literal> lock will be taken for
+ fillfactor and autovacuum storage parameters, as well as the
+ following planner related parameters:
+ effective_io_concurrency, parallel_workers, seq_page_cost
+ random_page_cost, n_distinct and n_distinct_inherited.
effective_io_concurrency, seq_page_cost and random_page_cost cannot be set for
a table - reloptions.c shows that they've always been RELOPT_KIND_TABLESPACE.
n_distinct lock mode seems to have been changed and documented at e5550d5f ;
21d4e2e2 claimed to do the same, but the LOCKMODE is never used.
