I can't speak to JOOQ (who are fantastic postgres supporters BTW), but
in the java world this typically comes from one of two things:
1) you have long running in-transaction process that has very heavy
computation between sql statements. this is a rare case
--or--
2) you are connecting pooling and the app sent a connection back into
the pool without having a transaction committed.
"2" is a common and dangerous bug. It can happen due to bug in
application code (most likely), the jdbc wrapping library code (less
likely), or the connection pooler itself if you're using one. A
typical cause of application side problems is manual transaction
management and some uncaught exception paths where errors (say, a
duplicate key error). So investigate causes like that first
(database errors in the database log might be a helpful clue) and go
from there. If the problem is within JOOQ, you ought to take it up
with them, which I encourage you to do, since I consider JOOQ to be a
wonderful treatment of SQL integration from the java perspective.
