Обсуждение: Retrieve the postgres transaction id
Hi, Is there a way to retrieve the postgres transaction id using JDBC? Bye, Cédric. -- Cédric Coulon cedric.coulon@lina.univ-nantes.fr Atlas group, INRIA LINA - Université de Nantes voice: +33 (0)2 51 12 59 63 2, Rue de la Houssinière BP 92208 fax : +33 (0)2 51 12 58 97 44322 Nantes Cedex 03 France

(later) A bit of experimentation yields this (I'm sure there's a better way): select transaction from pg_locks where pid = pg_backend_pid(); You should be able to run that as a normal query through JDBC. -O

You'd need to qualify that more, since as-is it will also show rows for
other locks the transaction holds. Possibly "where transaction is not
null" will be sufficient.

Thx for yours helps. But Isn't there a possibility that a backend has more than one transaction with locks? Cedric.

There is exactly one connection per backend, and one transaction per connection, and there is no way to change the transaction associated with a connection without committing/aborting the existing transaction. -O
That won't be true soon, nested transactions are coming ... Just a heads up.

This is true at the moment. Alvaro is hard at work on nested
transactions, which will imply more than one active XID per connection.
It's not decided yet how that will reflect into pg_locks, but I'd expect
there will be some visible consequence...
Probably the question that should have been asked at the outset of this
thread is "why do you want to know"? I can't offhand think of a good
reason for clients to be interested in transaction numbers --- they are
surely just an internal implementation detail.
