Dear all,

I am running below query on a database. why is it creating a exclusive lock on a virtualxid?  I am running some SELECT queries and its creating an ExclusiveLock in virtualxid? is this normal?

SELECT datname, pid, state, query, age(clock_timestamp(), query_start) AS age

FROM pg_stat_activity

WHERE state <> 'idle'

--AND query NOT LIKE '% FROM pg_stat_activity %'

ORDER BY age;


|locktype  |database|relation|page|tuple|virtualxid|transactionid|classid|objid|objsubid|virtualtransaction|pid   |mode           |granted|fastpath|waitstart|
