I did a postgres=# select procpid, query_start, waiting, current_query from pg_stat_activity; procpid | query_start | waiting | current_query 32605 | 2014-04-01 12:39:46.957666-07 | t | UPDATE public.GL_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION SET ROLE_TYPE_ID=$1, FROM_DATE=$2, THRU_DATE=$3, POSTED_BALANCE=$4, LAST_UPDATED_STAMP=$5, LAST_UPDATED_TX_STAMP=$6, CREATED_STAMP=$7, CREATED_TX_STAMP=$8 WHERE GL_ACCOUNT _ID=$9 AND ORGANIZATION_PARTY_ID=$10 32685 | 2014-04-01 12:25:10.378481-07 | t | UPDATE public.GL_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION SET ROLE_TYPE_ID=$1, FROM_DATE=$2, THRU_DATE=$3, POSTED_BALANCE=$4, LAST_UPDATED_STAMP=$5, LAST_UPDATED_TX_STAMP=$6, CREATED_STAMP=$7, CREATED_TX_STAMP=$8 WHERE GL_ACCOUNT _ID=$9 AND ORGANIZATION_PARTY_ID=$10 As you can see this is a pretty simple update query, but it's been running 24 minutes in one thread and nearly 10 minutes in the other thread. What's also strange is it's not trigger a transaction timeout either. I've already re-started the database recently, and there's not too many threads executing -- just 38 threads total. Is it possible that the table is corrupted or needs repair? -- Si Chen Open Source Strategies, Inc. sichen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.OpenSourceStrategies.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/opentaps Twitter: http://twitter.com/opentaps Both queries are "waiting". Your table must be locked. Check pg_locks.
