Hi all, it's very simple and intuitive case but let me describe first. 1. session 1 calls pg_advisory_lock(1234) and succeeds. 2. session 2 calls pg_advisory_lock(1234) and stops on waiting. All fine BUT pid for session2 appears already with backend_xmin in pg_stat_activity which means vacuum won't be able to remove rows younger than session2 backend_xmin.
Well, we planned to use pg_advisory_lock() as a boot phase in a hot-standby appserver and apparently this will be problematic as the session2 might wait for weeks. Any thoughts ? Do we miss something ? Thanks and Regards Radoslav Nedyalkov
