PostgreSQL зависает независимо от того, какую команду я выполняю

Question

Название в значительной степени подводит итог. Я использую PostgreSQL 9.0.0 и использую базу данных, использующую PostGIS.

Более подробно, таблица, с которой у меня возникают проблемы, это монстр. Имена таблиц были анонимными.

Я обновляю таблицы, и первое, что мне нужно было сделать, это удалить нулевое ограничение в столбце schedule_id . Однако когда я попытался выполнить инструкцию, произошло следующее:

xxx=# alter table locations_location alter column schedule_id drop not null;
<hangs>

Да, нада. Затем я попытался отбросить столбец с тем же результатом. Затем я попытался бросить стол, безрезультатно. Есть идеи?
