All, More on this:
1) I've confirmed at the 2nd site that the issue doesn't happen if pg_stat_statements.so is not loaded. So this seems to be confirmation that either auto_explain, pg_stat_statements, or both need to be loaded (but not necessarily created as extensions) in order to have the issue. 2) I've been unable to reproduce the issue using a naive test case, but I'll keep trying. 3) The XID information is interesting. a) I've confirmed that this is a case of having multiple row versions rather than allowing a duplicate PK to be inserted. b) the end result of this corruption is XIDs which go backwards: xmin | xmax | ctid | step_id | workitem_id | status ---------+---------+-----------+---------+-------------+--------- 3362707 | 3362707 | (6177,31) | 1 | 446469 | pending 3362710 | 3362707 | (6177,32) | 1 | 446469 | working 5520953 | 5520953 | (5064,105) | 1 | 727946 | pending 5520954 | 5520953 | (5064,108) | 1 | 727946 | working What's additionally problematic is that the current snapshot minxid is in the 9000000 range, so it's not clear why any of the above rows are visible at all. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
