RE: Commit with wait event on advisory lock!

[<msalais@xxxxxxx>]

Hi

 

I know very well advisory locks. The question is:

 

How a COMMIT statement could be blocked by a lock whatever the kind of the lock could be. COMMIT releases locks. How could it be blocked by a lock?!

 

Regards

Advisory locks are used by developers

Hi all,

 

I have long commits on a production database. To know why this happens I organized a snapshot system on table pg_stat_activity.

When I check the result I have this row in it:

 

postgres=# select * from public.fdj_ms_slow_stmts where pid = 2285947 \gx

-[ RECORD 1 ]----+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

state            | active

wait_event_type  | Lock

wait_event       | advisory

query_id         |

query            | COMMIT

…

 

Is this possible ?

I am really surprised !
