Hi,
I running PostgreSQL 8.0.x with database that does not have foreign keys
and sometimes the following messages appears:
ERROR: deadlock detected
DETAIL: Process 10029 waits for ShareLock on transaction 65272; blocked
by process 32436. Process 32436 waits for ShareLock on transaction 65117; blocked
by process 10029.
I also see (right after executing a ps) that there are lots of messages
"select waiting".
1 - Does it mean that process 10029 owns transaction 65117 and
process 32436 owns transaction 65272 as a transaction acquires an
exclusive lock in its transaction id ?
2 - How is this situation possible ?
What could cause the status ("select waiting") ?
Best regards,
Alfranio
