Hello - Trying to track down a lock contention problem, I have a process that does a series of select / insert operations. At some point the process grabs a series of RowExclusiveLock(s) and has the obvious effect of stalling other processes. I logged all the statements and don't see any for update or explicit lock statements.

Insert statements would naturally take RowExclusiveLock, but that
doesn't block other DML operations.  So the question is what *else*
are you doing?

Those SELECT statements aren't by chance FOR UPDATE, are they?
