This problem started showing up after switching to the XA > datasource with the Postgres JDBC driver. Is this causing problems? The null PID fields indicate that these locks are being held by uncommitted prepared transactions, so the pg_prepared_xacts view might give you useful info. I concur that this suggests an XA problem. You might have better luck asking about that in the pgsql-jdbc list. regards, tom lane
