一个表无法truncate可是能够rename，这个乍听起来认为好奇怪，以下模拟该过程。
3个session：
session1运行truncate和rename操作。
session2运行lock表操作；
session3进行监控。
 
session1：

[gpadmin@wx60 contrib]$ psql gtlions
psql (8.2.15)
Type "help" for help.
 
gtlions=# \d test
             Table "public.test"
 Column |          Type          | Modifiers 
--------+------------------------+-----------
 id     | integer                | 
 name   | character varying(200) | 
Indexes:
    "idxtestid" btree (id)
    "idxtestname" btree (name)
Distributed by: (id)
 
gtlions=# select pg_backend_pid();
 pg_backend_pid 
----------------
           1473
(1 row)
 
gtlions=# truncate table test;
Cancel request sent
ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
gtlions=# alter table test rename to test1;
ALTER TABLE

 
session2：

[gpadmin@wx60 ~]$ psql gtlions
psql (8.2.15)
Type "help" for help.
 
gtlions=# select pg_backend_pid();
 pg_backend_pid 
----------------
           1555
(1 row)
 
gtlions=# begin;
BEGIN
gtlions=# select * from test limit 10;
  id   |    name

 19672 | 19672-asfd
 19674 | 19674-asfd

gtlions=# end;
COMMIT

 
session3：
