>I guess with your query I can figure out which connection holds a lock, but it seems I cannot correlate those locks to the rows which actually are locked, since pg_locks seems not to reference this in any way.

Enrico,

FWIW, I really don't understand your need to identify the actual rows that are locked. Once you have identified the query that is causing a block (which is usually
due to "Idle in Transaction"), AFAIK the only way to remedy the problem is to kill the offending query, or wait for it to complete. I am not aware of any way available
to a user to "unlock" individual rows". Indeed, if you could, it would probably lead to corruption of some form.

BTW, the query I provided WILL work in version 10.  The commented section was for v9.1 and prior, as "someone" felt it necessary to rename some fields in pg_stat_activity
and remove/replace another field. Hopefully they will refrain from doing so in the future, as it breaks queries and applications.
