Hi,

newsdb3=# lock dpa in exclusive mode;

that one worked without errors. connecting as a normal user

 psql -U dbimport newsdb3

and doing a

newsdb3=> select id from dpa limit 5;
   id
--------
  73424
  73430
  69445
  73431
 109217
(5 rows)

Maybe I have a different idea of exclusive.

kind regards
