Howdy! This query is coming from PgPool I believe. SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_class AS c WHERE c.relname = 'import_jobs' AND c.relpersistence = 'u' This is a very small database, like 10/15 tables, it's basically empty. If i run this query manually, it comes back immediatly. However according to this it's been running for about an hour. v3=# select now(); now ------------------------------- 2013-02-15 21:49:34.470466+00 (1 row) -[ RECORD 5 ]----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- datid | 16389 datname | v3 pid | 13905 usesysid | 20415 usename | workling application_name | client_addr | 10.0.0.132 client_hostname | client_port | 58009 backend_start | 2013-02-15 20:49:09.098768+00 xact_start | 2013-02-15 20:49:09.189625+00 query_start | 2013-02-15 20:49:09.198742+00 state_change | 2013-02-15 20:49:09.198743+00 waiting | f state | active query | SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_class AS c WHERE c.relname = 'import_jobs' AND c.relpersistence = 'u' (I actually restarted the application and now there are 4 of these) Any idea why the query would hang like this? I don't see it waiting on locks or anything like that. any ideas?
