I am executing pg_advisory_locks using the following set of statements:
SELECT pg_advisory_lock(317,2);
UPDATE posts SET dislikers = array_remove(dislikers, 7) WHERE id = 317;
update posts set num_dislikes = icount(dislikers), updated_at = now() where id = 317;
WITH update_likers AS (SELECT pg_advisory_unlock(317,2)) select num_likes, num_dislikes, (7 IN (select(unnest(likers)))) as liked, (7 IN (select(unnest(dislikers)))) as disliked from posts where id = 317 LIMIT 1;
These are issued from a multithreaded app. One in 1000 queries, I get a deadlock after the execution of the above set of statements. i.e. SELECT try_pg_advisory_lock(317,2) returns false. Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?
