Hi, I've got a JDBC client which got hung in reading response to a DML statement: [junit] "Thread-11201" prio=1 tid=0x0000002ac9df56e0 nid=0x3995 runnable [0x0000000041a70000..0x0000000041a70db0] [junit] at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) [junit] at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:129) [junit] at org.postgresql.core.VisibleBufferedInputStream.readMore(VisibleBufferedInputStream.java:135) [junit] at org.postgresql.core.VisibleBufferedInputStream.ensureBytes(VisibleBufferedInputStream.java:104) [junit] at org.postgresql.core.VisibleBufferedInputStream.read(VisibleBufferedInputStream.java:73) [junit] at org.postgresql.core.PGStream.ReceiveChar(PGStream.java:259) [junit] at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.processResults(QueryExecutorImpl.java:1166) [junit] at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:192) [junit] - locked <0x0000002ab85b1918> (a org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl) [junit] at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.execute(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:451) [junit] at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeWithFlags(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:350) [junit] at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeUpdate(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:304) I can also identify a couple of back-end processes presumably related to the client: postgres 14727 9868 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12496) idle in transaction postgres 14735 9868 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12497) idle in transaction postgres 14737 9868 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12498) UPDATE waiting postgres 14738 9868 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12499) idle postgres 14739 9868 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12500) idle postgres 14740 9868 0 22:34 ? 00:00:00 postgres: pkovacs chemaxon 127.0.0.1(12501) idle Please, could you suggest me a couple of things which I can/should check and how I can do it? (Locks/contention would be an obvious candidate, but I am fairly sure that the database has only one client: mine.)
