Dear Adrian,
thank you for the reply!
i am struggling with a problem due, sometime, to a double concurrent update on
the same row of a table.
What is the error message you get?
We have no error, but the two queries, in "Lock wait", keep stucked for some
minutes before completed.
Are there any parameters useful to "serialize" in some way two different Update
queries - for the same field in the same row - arriving concurrently?
I was looking at the lock_timeout parameter: could it be what i am looking for?
If I understood your OP you do not have control of what the client,
correct? If that is the case it makes what you want to achieve more
difficult. To understand what can be done you will want to take a look at:
The locking choices in Postgres.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/mvcc.html
The lock timeouts available(though I don't think they apply to your case)
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/runtime-config-locks.html
How to change the transaction modes

Thank you!
