Take a look to the timestamps... they are not really close to each other...
Eh? The timestamps show that the updates *are* close to each other.
What we don't know is whether this log excerpt shows all statements
that were executed during its time frame. It might have been grep'ed
from the full log file, or the log_min_duration_statement setting
might be such that only statements lasting more than a certain
amount of time are logged and we're not seeing similar updates that
happened quickly, nor when any of the updates were committed.
Marc, does my hypothesis of updates being blocked by other transactions
sound plausible in your environment? How complete a log did you
post -- is it everything, or are there other statements that you
omitted or that weren't logged because of the log_min_duration_statement
setting?
I'm working on it from that perspective ... apparently, there has been no
changes to teh database, only the application ... the weird thing is that
the application/database on teh development server (much less powerful)
isn't exhibiting the same problems, so I'm thinking there has to be
somethign slightly different between the two that they aren't thinking of
that they've made ...
Going to have to do a code review next, see if they've maybe thrown in a
TRANSACTION wouldn't realizing/thinking of it :(
Thanks ...
