An ALTER TABLE that is only waiting for its lock already blocks your reads. On PG 18: one open read txn, an ALTER queued behind it, and a plain SELECT stuck behind the ALTER.
SET lock_timeout = '1s' before DDL makes it give up, and reads flow again. #postgres

We live in amazing times for #postgres. We have now #multigres and #neki. Both for sharding postgres in a way that is not you hacking 3+ instances of postgres with some duct tape code. 🫠 PTSD is still strong on that one. 😅 can't wait to see maturity here. 😎
Using pg_advisory_lock behind PgBouncer in transaction mode? The lock belongs to the server connection, so the unlock can land on a different backend, fail, and leave the job locked.
pg_advisory_xact_lock releases at COMMIT on the backend that took it. #postgres
How do you catch interactive prompts before CI does? Mine was a y/N from a migration CLI, on a GitHub Actions @github.com runner with no TTY.
Thank you to The Open Alliance for PostgreSQL Education for your Community partnership!
