But my transaction ids are still far less than 2^32. I think I got it. pg_locks.transactionid is a 4-byte quantity. But I can safely ignore the upper half of the BIGINT that comes out of txid_snapshot_xip(). So, the query becomes: select l.pid from ( select * from txid_snapshot_xip(txid_current_snapshot()) union select * from txid_snapshot_xmax(txid_current_snapshot())) tx(id) join pg_locks l on ( l.locktype='transactionid' and l.transactionid::TEXT::BIGINT=tx.id & (1::BIGINT<<32)-1) Torsten -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
