Lock dependency info

Works with PostgreSQL

Any version

Written in

SQL

Depends on

Nothing

At times it is very usefull to see which locks depend uppon each other.

Flat View of Blocking

All columns prefixed with waiting_ hold information about the not granted lock, while the colums prefixed with other_ hold information about other locks on the same relation respectively transactionid 

SELECT 
    waiting.locktype           AS waiting_locktype,
    waiting.relation::regclass AS waiting_table,
    waiting_stm.current_query  AS waiting_query,
    waiting.mode               AS waiting_mode,
    waiting.pid                AS waiting_pid,
    other.locktype             AS other_locktype,
    other.relation::regclass   AS other_table,
    other_stm.current_query    AS other_query,
    other.mode                 AS other_mode,
    other.pid                  AS other_pid,
    other.granted              AS other_granted
FROM
    pg_catalog.pg_locks AS waiting
JOIN
    pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity AS waiting_stm
    ON (
        waiting_stm.procpid = waiting.pid
    )
JOIN
    pg_catalog.pg_locks AS other
    ON (
        (
            waiting."database" = other."database"
        AND waiting.relation  = other.relation
        )
        OR waiting.transactionid = other.transactionid
    )
JOIN
    pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity AS other_stm
    ON (
        other_stm.procpid = other.pid
    )
WHERE
    NOT waiting.granted
AND
    waiting.pid <> other.pid

It would be useful to add extra columns indicating how long the waiting statement has been blocked.
