Hi Everyone
Some of our databases have been experiencing a sudden spike in deadlocks being detected.
as far as our knowledge is concerned, there have not been any new code taken live and no changes from what are aware off.
The databases are running postgresql 8.1
From the log files I am able to get the following information:
2011-05-30 00:19:05 SAST ERROR: deadlock detected
2011-05-30 00:19:05 SAST DETAIL: Process 534 waits for ShareLock on transaction 20417220; blocked by process 29184.

I am however not sure how to trace these back to a database, table, and maybe even a query to determine where things are going wrong.
I tried to look through the system tables however I can't seem to find the database (1502000) or the relation mentioned here, however, I am sure I am not looking in the right places as I do not know Postgresql that well.
I would really appreciate help on this as allt he deadlocks seems to be happening on the same database and relation, just different tuples and process id's.

Machiel
