Subject: [GENERAL] simple update query stuck

Hello,

I'm using postgresql 9.0.13, and I have a simple query that seems to be stuck.  
I did a
postgres=# select procpid, query_start, waiting, current_query from 
pg_stat_activity;

 procpid |          query_start          | waiting |                            
                                                                                
         current_query                                                          
                      
                                     
   32605 | 2014-04-01 12:39:46.957666-07 | t       | UPDATE 
public.GL_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION SET ROLE_TYPE_ID=$1, FROM_DATE=$2, THRU_DATE=$3, 
POSTED_BALANCE=$4, LAST_UPDATED_STAMP=$5, LAST_UPDATED_TX_STAMP=$6, 
CREATED_STAMP=$7, CREATED_TX_STAMP=$8 WHERE GL_ACCOUNT
_ID=$9 AND ORGANIZATION_PARTY_ID=$10

   32685 | 2014-04-01 12:25:10.378481-07 | t       | UPDATE 
public.GL_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION SET ROLE_TYPE_ID=$1, FROM_DATE=$2, THRU_DATE=$3, 
POSTED_BALANCE=$4, LAST_UPDATED_STAMP=$5, LAST_UPDATED_TX_STAMP=$6, 
CREATED_STAMP=$7, CREATED_TX_STAMP=$8 WHERE GL_ACCOUNT
_ID=$9 AND ORGANIZATION_PARTY_ID=$10

As you can see this is a pretty simple update query, but it's been running 24 
minutes in one thread and nearly 10 minutes in the other thread.  What's also 
strange is it's not trigger a transaction timeout either.

I've already re-started the database recently, and there's not too many threads 
executing -- just 38 threads total.  Is it possible that the table is corrupted 
or needs repair?

Both queries are "waiting".  Your table must be locked.
Check pg_locks.
