How would you get that information into the log file? The best you can get in the log file is the information from "log_lock_waits = on", which is information about situations where somebody had to wait for a lock for more than a second. Definitely useful, but capturing "pg_stat_activity" snapshots will provide more infrmation. Yours, Laurenz Albe
