+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1980023 +++ Description of problem: The satellite-installer timeout value by default isn't very long by default. Waiting for DELETE requests on postgres have exceeded the timeout of the installer causing the installer to fail and have to be run again. Could instances of DELETE be changed for TRUNCATE where possible for DB updates/migrations/changes? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): candlepin-3.1.28-1 How reproducible: n/a Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Expected results: A TRUNCATE action for this table would have completed faster and allowed the installer to keep moving along. I assume this is known and a DELETE was explicitly used here as it was necessary for a particular reason. Filing an RFE just to be sure. Additional info:
