Yes, I assumed the query looked like that, and I couldn't reproduce
the problem with it. My point was that you haven't given us a
self-contained test case that we can use to reproduce the problem,
so we have to guess at what the missing parts are. Solving this
would be a lot easier if you'd just tell us what you're doing so
we don't have to spend unnecessary time guessing.
As I requested before, please provide the exact steps we can take
to reproduce the problem. Show the CREATE TABLE statement and any
other statements that occur before the SELECT statement. Show
everything that we can copy and paste into an empty database to
make the problem happen.
Since you say the query takes forever to return, it might be useful
to see the output of pg_locks. Run the SELECT query that locks up
in one session, then open another session and run the following
query:
SELECT relation::regclass, * FROM pg_locks;
Include the output of that query in your message.
