DROP TABLE, and many other kinds of DDL, are indeed going to be blocked
by a concurrent pg_dump. That's expected and not a bug. SELECT / UPDATE
on their own won't.

Please note that the form you used is for reporting a bug, but I do not
see one in your report?

Greetings,

Andres Freund

That's not a bug. Selects and Updates alone should not block on a pg_dump,
but in conjunction with DROP they certainly can. You can't DROP a table
while it is being dumped, and you can't select from a table while it is
waiting to be dropped.

Cheers,

Jeff
