AGH!!!! AGHR!!!

A my collegue JDBC application that stay in "idle intransaction" 24h/24h
(but in another database, non in the bloated-reported db...)!

I killed it now(jdbc app).

vacuumed full and PG have cleaned all!! So if I have a idle transaction in
one database of the cluster it "lock" vacuums of all databases of the cluster.

Good to know this...but why this behaviour? it'is lovely...:)

Tom , can you explain why?...

Thanks a lot!!

Matteo
