hello,

I'm doing long-running transactions which insert into tables A and B,
and when I try to update table C from another session, the update
hangs until the first transaction is done; the related postgres process
shows as "UPDATE waiting" in ps.

Why is this, and is there a way around it?

tnx,

cm.
