It won't directly tell you what statement is running (although my guess is
also that it's probably something like an idle in transaction state
backend), but it can tell you if that's the problem probably.
You'd see something like:
...
21488 | 17057 | | 8613 | AccessShareLock | t
...
21488 | 17057 | | 8626 | AccessExclusiveLock | f
Which is basically saying that the command in pid 8626 is waiting on the
lock that pid 8613 has.
