Please include the list in your reply so others can help. I'm also adding -interfaces. You're still not showing exact errors, but I suspect this might be a JDBC issue. Here's what I get: Session 1: decibel=# begin; BEGIN decibel=# select * from i where i=1 for update nowait; i --- 1 (1 row) decibel=# begin; BEGIN decibel=# select * from i where i=2 for update nowait; i --- 2 (1 row) decibel=# select * from i where i=1 for update nowait; ERROR: could not obtain lock on row in relation "i" decibel=# select * from i where i=3 for update nowait; ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block decibel=# -- Jim C.

The problem maybe become of the use of the driver jdbc because I pass through JAVA ! I do : Session 1 : BEGIN Select * FROM myTable WHERE num=3 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT Session 2 : I can do Select * FROM myTable WHERE num=4 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT Select * FROM myTable WHERE num=2 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT .... But When I do Select * FROM myTable WHERE num=3 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT => error (Normal) But It blocks all the table "myTable" for the session 2 !!!!!! And for example i can't do : Select * FROM myTable WHERE num=2 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT If i want to do that, I must do a COMMIT (Then the table is available except for the : Select * FROM myTable WHERE num=3 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT ) Normal ;) Until I do Session 1 COMMIT Then i don't see where is the problem !
