Hi,

Each day I'm recreating the index my_index of the table my_table. Therefore I 
create a new index my_index_new, drop the old index my_index, and rename the 
new index:
ALTER INDEX my_index_new RENAME TO my_index;

If an insert or select statement is run at the same time as the "ALTER INDEX 
... RENAME TO" statement, it will end up in a deadlock.

The index contains a foreign key (don't know if this information is 
important).

Is this a known issue?

Thanks, Thomas
