BTW, I think your query is probably missing some cases:
( blockingl.transactionid=blockedl.transactionid
OR
(blockingl.relation=blockedl.relation AND blockingl.locktype=blockedl.locktype)
)
This supposes that locks of different strengths don't block each other,
which is certainly wrong. I think you could probably just drop the check
on locktype. You might want to tighten the WHERE to "WHERE
blockingl.granted AND NOT blockedl.granted", as well.
