I have an issue with the add foreign key constraint which goes for waiting and locks other queries as well.
 
ALTER TABLE ONLY holding_positions ADD CONSTRAINT holding_positions_stock_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY (stock_id)
      REFERENCES stocks (stock_id) MATCH SIMPLE
      ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION;
 
The holding_positions table has no data in it as yet.
 
 
ps aux | grep postgres
postgres  5855  0.8  1.6 346436 271452 ?     Ss   16:34   0:07 postgres: abc stocks 192.100.100.111(60308) SELECT waiting
postgres  6134  0.0  0.0 346008 4184 ?       Ss   16:44   0:00 postgres: xyz stocks 192.100.100.222(34604) ALTER TABLE waiting
 
 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Roopa
