아래처럼 트랜잭션을 선언하거나 autocommit 모드가 아니면 alter table 이후 commit 전까지 다른 세션은 blocking 됩니다.
<세션1> postgres=# begin; BEGIN postgres=# ALTER TABLE test ADD COLUMN f_rate numeric; ALTER TABLE <세션2> postgres=# SELECT pid, relation::regclass, locktype, mode, granted FROM pg_locks WHERE locktype = 'relation'; pid | relation | locktype | mode | granted -------+----------+----------+---------------------+--------- 15084 | pg_locks | relation | AccessShareLock | t 31913 | test | relation | AccessExclusiveLock | t
