Hi.I am korean database engineer.my english skill is very poor.but i desire that you teach this situation.um...I am testing postgresql performance in these days;today, I found this situation.Session 1. -begin;delete from XXXX;Session 2 -delete from XXXX;thus, it occured row level locking.so. i killed Session 1's PID with kill -9 commands
killing it with -9 crashed the whole PostgreSQL server, don't do that. Instead just login to the database and run the function pg_cancel_backend() http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/functions-admin.html, much more safe way.
regards
Szymon
