Applied with some further revisions to improve the usefulness of the log
messages. There's now one issued when the deadlock timeout elapses, and
another when the lock is finally obtained:
LOG: process 14945 still waiting for AccessExclusiveLock on relation 86076 of
database 86042 after 1003.354 ms
...
LOG: process 14945 acquired AccessExclusiveLock on relation 86076 of database
86042 after 5918.002 ms
although I just realized that the wording of the second one is
misleading; it actually comes out when the lock wait ends, whether we
acquired the lock or not. (The other possibility is that our statement
was aborted, eg by SIGINT or statement_timeout.)
Is it worth having two messages for the two cases? I'm tempted to just
not log anything if the statement is aborted --- the cause of the abort
should be reflected in some later error message, and reporting how long
we waited before giving up seems not within the charter of
log_lock_waits.
