If there is nothing with "granted" set to FALSE in "pg_locks", you are not blocked by a database lock. What is the "state" of the hanging database session in "pg_stat_activity"? If it is "idle" or "idle in transaction", then the lock must be in your Java process. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
