Well, it stoped. And in the log I can see: LOGG: statement: UPDATE VList SET updated=true WHERE id=985 LOGG: duration: 1129993.209 ms and a few lines below (with queries in between) LOGG: statement: UPDATE VList SET updated=false WHERE id=985 LOGG: duration: 0.400 ms So, something was blocking the query, seriously! Still interested in findingout how to detect what is going on. There were other processes, could it be a lock? I have not specified any special transaction or so. I was calling from a PHP script (I think). 2009/1/30 A B <gentosaker@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi. > I just discovered three "postmaster" processes running and really > eating all the cpu. > I'm not sure why? > So, what steps do I take for finiding the queries that is causing this? > -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
