Re: [GENERAL] Serializable Isolation and read/write conflict withindex and different keys - Mailing list pgsql-general

I have inserted a row that i don't touch, runned ANALYZE and tried again but with the same result.

I'm using postgres 9.6.3 and EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows this:

 Index Scan using users_username_idx on users  (cost=0.13..8.14 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.020..0.020 rows=0 loops=1)

   Index Cond: (name = 'bob'::text)

Take a look at the EXPLAIN plan for the SELECT.  You'll get fine
grained SIREAD locks if it's doing a btree index scan, but table-level
SIREAD locks for other kinds of plans.  Sometimes simple SSI tests can
show a lot of false positives just because of empty tables or missing
statistics (ANALYZE).
