Re: pg_advisory_lock lock FAILURE / What does those numbers mean (process 240828 waits for ExclusiveLock on advisory lock [1167570,16820923,3422556162,1];)?

See this code in src/backend/utils/adt/lockfuncs.c:

/*
* Functions for manipulating advisory locks
*
* We make use of the locktag fields as follows:
*
* field1: MyDatabaseId ... ensures locks are local to each database
* field2: first of 2 int4 keys, or high-order half of an int8 key
* field3: second of 2 int4 keys, or low-order half of an int8 key
* field4: 1 if using an int8 key, 2 if using 2 int4 keys
*/
#define SET_LOCKTAG_INT64(tag, key64) \
SET_LOCKTAG_ADVISORY(tag, \
MyDatabaseId, \
(uint32) ((key64) >> 32), \
(uint32) (key64), \
1)
#define SET_LOCKTAG_INT32(tag, key1, key2) \
SET_LOCKTAG_ADVISORY(tag, MyDatabaseId, key1, key2, 2)
