more methods:
1. select * from pg_stat_activity;
see what all running and pid of your current query also.
2. SELECT h.pid AS blocker, w.pid AS blockee
FROM ONLY pg_locks h, ONLY pg_locks w
WHERE h."granted" AND NOT w."granted" AND (h.relation = w.relation
AND h."database" = w."database" OR h."transaction" = w."transaction");
make sure that the pid in 1 is not listed as a blockee in result of
above query m, ie The the update is waiting for anything.
3. go the shell , su - postgres ,
strace -p <pid> of the backend got in 1.
observe the system calls , see if anything awkward
there shoud be a lot of writes
4. iostat ofcourse, unless the above sql is the only sql(update)
running running in server .
my 4cents
regds
