Hi all,

I am using PostgreSQL 7.3.1.

Is there a data dictionary in Postgres from where i can get the info about
locked rows of any table ? If possible the value of those locked record ?

My situation is like:

I have an ODBC application working on Postgres. There are Master child
tables. I want, if a user A is editing any document ( one master and set of
child records) in front-end application, the same should not be available to
other user for editing.

I thought of using SELECT FOR UPDATE. But, in my case, i need to display the
name of application user and other details about the locked row.

No, this information is not available for end users.

Keeping in mind that long-running transactions are not a good idea anyway, you 
should probably consider a user-space cooperative locking model.  There is 
something in contrib/userlock, but I'm not sure whether that fits what you 
need.
