The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2466 Logged by: P.P.S. Narayan Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1 Operating system: Windows XP Description: lock issues... Details:
Here is what I am seeing. I have a postgres instance running on a Windows XP machine with a Tomcat server. Occasionally one of the http requests (which updates the DB) hangs. We still have not found out why that happens. However, there are a bunch of http requests that come in after the hanging request, which get deadlocked on the locks held by the hanging request. AS far as I have read, there is a lock_timeout parameter in postgresql config file to timeout after 1s. But none of the latter http requests timeout. Can you provide me with a. Any advice, on how I can go about figuring out what is happening? b. Is this a known problem on Windows XP. And is there some remedy?
