Uh oh. This is a first (for me). I got this error on a transaction, it
did not crash the server but did abort the transaction (of course).
ERROR: lock AccessShareLock on object 16385/16467/0 is already held
What was I doing? A large transaction where I was pushing about 20
million rows into two tables using prepared transactions. I have been
doing this for some time (over a year) on 8.2.6 without any problems.
I may be able to reproduce, but the transaction takes a long time to
complete... about a day. I'm running it again now.
There was no information in the log. What else can I do to get debug
information for you, provided it's reproducable...
