(seemingly) getting the same lock

Hi, I currently have a simple queue written ontop of Postgres. Jobs are inserted and workers periodically check for jobs they can do, do them, and then delete the rows. pg_try_advisory_lock is used to (attempt to) stop two workers from doing the same job. (I'm working on moving to a "real" messaging queue right now, this is more a point of curiosity and education now.) Here is my queue table, CREATE TABLE queue ( id serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, rcvd timestamp with time zone, sent timestamp with time zone, host character varying(32), job character varying(32), arg text ); Here is an example query, SELECT q.* FROM (SELECT id, job, arg FROM queue WHERE job = 'foo' OR job = 'bar' OFFSET 0) AS q WHERE pg_try_advisory_lock(1, q.id) LIMIT 10 (For information on OFFSET 0 see: http://blog.endpoint.com/2009/04/offset-0-ftw.html) Now if I have two workers running I will periodically see that each worker gets a row with the same q.id (and thus does the work). How is that possible? The outer query seemingly does a WHERE on an advisory_lock. Does anyone have any ideas? Am I grossly misusing advisory_locks? Thanks, Brett
