Hi all,
I have some idle transactions in PostgreSQL 9.2.4 server which never end.
My application was working fine on version 9.1 (BSD) but the problem
appeared immediately as we ported it to 9.2.4 on Linux. The idle operations
would frequently appear as COMMITs but sometimes I observed INSERTS as well.
Please note that each commit below refers to *very light* inserts of single
rows which are supposed to last milliseconds. However some of the just
never end even if they are not waiting on other operations. See below:
SELECT datname,usename,pid,client_addr,waiting,query_start,query FROM
pg_stat_activity;
datname | usename | pid | client_addr | waiting | query_start
| query
