In case this helps anyone else, I found a simple way to get a rough
idea of what's going on, which is to run:
select (select count(distinct virtualtransaction) from pg_locks) as
tx_with_locks, (select count(*) from pg_stat_activity where state =
'active') as active_tx, (select count(*) from pg_loc

Hi,
I am just trying to jump in, but ignore if not relevant.
when you said*Eventually this results in an "out of shared memory"
error *
Can you rule out the below two scenarios (wrt /dev/shm too low in docker or
query requesting for too many locks either due to parallellism/partition

pg_prepared_xacts was another clue I saw! But, it seems m

Hi -
Does anyone have any pointers on what a virtualtransaction of '-1/0' means?

transactionid | classid | objid | objsubid | virtualtransaction | pid |
mode| granted | fastpath
