I think that's kind of a confusing way of looking at it. LockTuple() waits for a "tuple" lmgr lock, and XactLockTableWait waits for a "transaction" lmgr lock. Those two things are both part of a larger protocol for managing access to what we refer to as tuple locks at the SQL level. I don't think conflating those things would be a very good idea, because it's useful to know which phase you're currently doing - e.g. anybody waiting on a tuple lock is not first in the queue. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
