Since you don't show the query that generated that output, I have no idea if your statement is valid, or if you're running a query that will inherently produce incorrect results. > * Also, ensure log_lock_waits is turned on for the server and check > > PostgreSQL's logs for messages about long lock waits. > > There is also nothing This is even worse than the previous statement. What did you _do_ to determine this? Since you're unable to diagnose and fix the problem on your own, the possibility exists that the problem is with your diagnostic steps. If you don't share the details of those steps, I have no way to help you with them. > > * Based on the connection behavior you describe, I'm guessing it's a > > Tomcat app using some sort of conection pool.
