Re: [ADMIN] Postgresql Database Lock Problem

Can you provide the layout of your table and all indexes that are present on said table?

Sounds like a incorrectly indexed table possibly.

Problem: Database Lock
----------------------------------


Dear
all
I
am working as a database administrator in a company. Our Database
system is Postgresql-8.3.5 and Application server is Jboss used for
our Adempiere ERP system. This is a web based ERP system.  All
servers are running on RHEL.

Now
our system is going to on-line and users are entering old data. So
transactions are occurring very frequently.

Now
I am facing the problem is the application server just hangs at busy
hour and it does not accept any new connection. When I restart the
server (Adempiere, Jboss) it works fine for a few hours and problem
occurs again. When this problem occurs the database server shows the
following log

LOG: process 19181 still waiting for ShareLock on transaction 18025221
after 1002.251 ms 
STATEMENT: SELECT CurrentNext, CurrentNextSys, IncrementNo, Prefix, Suffix,
DecimalPattern, AD_Sequence_ID FROM AD_Sequence WHERE Name = $1 AND
AD_Client_ID = $2 AND IsActive='Y' AND IsTableID='N' AND
IsAutoSequence='Y' ORDER BY AD_Client_ID DESC FOR UPDATE OF
AD_Sequence 

LOG: process 19181 acquired ShareLock on transaction 18025221 after
1298870.572 ms 
STATEMENT: SELECT CurrentNext, CurrentNextSys, IncrementNo, Prefix, Suffix,
DecimalPattern, AD_Sequence_ID FROM AD_Sequence WHERE Name = $1 AND
AD_Client_ID = $2 AND IsActive='Y' AND IsTableID='N' AND
IsAutoSequence='Y' ORDER BY AD_Client_ID DESC FOR UPDATE OF
AD_Sequence 

and
the lock table informations are as following:
adempiere=#
select * from pg_locks where granted = 'y' and mode =
'ExclusiveLock';

ExclusiveLock|
 
t 
(10
rows) 


adempiere=#
select * from pg_locks where granted = 'f'; 
locktype    |
database | relation | page | tuple | virtualxid | transactionid |
classid | objid | objsubid | virtualtransaction |  pid  |   mode    |
granted 

---------------+----------+----------+------+-------+------------+---------------+---------+-------+----------+--------------------+-------+-----------+---------

transactionid |     |          |      |       |            |      18386574 |        
|       |          | 24/1586            | 19181 | ShareLock | f 
(1
row) 

*** Here
you can see that process 19196 have ExclusiveLock on transaction
18386574 and process  19181 is waiting for  ShareLock to the same
transaction.

When
I monitor the Application server sessions from Jboss console normally
I can see one of three stats R-Ready, K-Keep Alive and S-Service.
When the application server hangs all sessions goes to Service mode.


Please give me your appropriate and valuable solution in this regard. I am eagerly looking forward for your quick
reply.
