Re: Monitoring Locks in Databases

Pgmonitor is pretty good for this. It doesn't give you the ability to
traverse from session to lock to resource to lock to session that would be
nice to trace through multiple user interwoven lock contention problems.
But is does provide an invaluable window into who's doing what right now
against the database to see if session are waiting for locks or not.
