The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 19069
Logged by: Maciej Walczak
Email address: m.walczak@megavision.pl
PostgreSQL version: 18.0
Operating system: Windows 11 Pro 24H2
Description:
This doesn't actually do any locking:
BEGIN;
WITH my_lock AS (
SELECT pg_advisory_xact_lock(1)
)
INSERT INTO my_table (...) VALUES (...);
COMMIT;
To reproduce just run this code in two sessions in parallel without
commiting.
Both inserts will immediately complete without blocking.
I'm not sure if this is a bug. If it's not, perhaps the documentation should
be clarified.
Side-effects of WITH queries are mentioned here, so I would expect my code
to work:

Tested on Postgres 18.0 and 16.10.
