Use our PITR logs to restore a tertiary system to the point when we were having the problem (we have a pretty wide 2 or 3 hour window to hit), then query the pg_locks table on that system? If so, is it possible to only restore a subset of the DB to that point - in particular just this table? The problem is that our DB is pretty massive and this could take an extremely long time. -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food" -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
