First of all, my apologies for posting it to 3 lists: I'm not sure if
this is an admin question, or I only have this question because I'm a
novice, or some combination thereof.
I have a table which appears to be locked on an INSERT. Looking in
pg_locks, I get the result (shown below). I can use the relation.oid
and the database.oid to get to the pg_class and pg_database and find out
which tables are locked. But the transactions that have exclusive locks
marked against them, they have transaction identifiers only. How do I
use these transactions identifiers to find which tables are currently
under exclusive lock? It seems that there is a transaction_id
associated with tables, but that involves going table by table through
(500+) tables and does not seem too practical.
Does anyone know of a way to go from transactions identifiers to the
actual transaction--which tables, which statements, etc. etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Si Chen
