Hi, session one:
locks=# begin; BEGIN locks=# alter table test add column b text; ALTER TABLE locks=# Session 2 querying pg_locks for the PID from above: locks=# select locktype,relation::regclass,mode from pg_locks where pid = 2026 and locktype = 'relation'; locktype | relation | mode ----------+----------+--------------------- relation | test | AccessExclusiveLock relation | 17728 | AccessExclusiveLock relation | 17726 | ShareLock (3 rows) What are these 17728 and 17726 OIDs? Nothing else is happening except these two sessions. Thanks in advance Daniel
