Hello,

I'm using postgresql 9.0.13, and I have a simple query that seems to be
stuck. I did a
postgres=# select procpid, query_start, waiting, current_query from
pg_stat_activity;

procpid | query_start | waiting |

current_query

32605 | 2014-04-01 12:39:46.957666-07 | t | UPDATE
public.GL_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION SET ROLE_TYPE_ID=$1, FROM_DATE=$2,
THRU_DATE=$3, POSTED_BALANCE=$4, LAST_UPDATED_STAMP=$5,
LAST_UPDATED_TX_STAMP=$6, CREATED_STAMP=$7, CREATED_TX_STAMP=$8 WHERE
GL_ACCOUNT
_ID=$9 AND ORGANIZATION_PARTY_ID=$10

32685 | 2014-04-01 12:25:10.378481-07 | t | UPDATE
public.GL_ACCOUNT_ORGANIZATION SET ROLE_TYPE_ID=$1, FROM_DATE=$2,
THRU_DATE=$3, POSTED_BALANCE=$4, LAST_UPDATED_STAMP=$5,
LAST_UPDATED_TX_STAMP=$6, CREATED_STAMP=$7, CREATED_TX_STAMP=$8 WHERE
GL_ACCOUNT
_ID=$9 AND ORGANIZATION_PARTY_ID=$10

As you can see this is a pretty simple update query, but it's been running
24 minutes in one thread and nearly 10 minutes in the other thread. What's
also strange is it's not trigger a transaction timeout either.

I've already re-started the database recently, and there's not too many
threads executing -- just 38 threads total. Is it possible that the table
is corrupted or needs repair?
