I set autocommit =off.
When drop table and i do not send commit or rollback is possible to select from other user on pg_class or pg_tables.

When drop view and i do not send commit or rollback is not possible to select from other user on pg_view. The selection is lock.
For unlock selection on pg_view the user that dropped view have to send commit or rollback.

Bye !!
Frank Lupo (Wolf) !!

The only thing that's locked is computing the "definition" field for the
view you are currently altering (read dropping). I see no way to avoid
that, nor any really strong reason to worry about it. Access to a table
that you're currently dropping is locked, too.
