Look for old xact_start times in pg_stat_activity. Also look for old entries in pg_prepared_xacts. If you find any, get rid of them. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
