Re: Is CREATE TABLE non-blocking ?

So the solution was a simple problem in our program that send some INSERT
requests before we actually CREATE our tables.

We didn't figured out this problem on our first test system because it was
really fast.
On our second test environment that is much slower, the application shut
down instantly because of the tables were not created.
