Let's assume that there is a bug in hibernate that is causing it to
start a transaction behind my back. I'm trying to understand what
footprints it would leave and I see three possibilities:
a) It later commits the transaction behind my back
b) It later rolls back the transaction behind my back
c) It just leaves the transaction uncommitted/unrolledback/just
dangling out there.
for a): I don't think this could be happening or my data would actually
be in the database
for b): I don't think this could be happening or I would see evidence
of the rollback in the pgsql log
That leaves (c): What would this look like?
If I do a 'ps -efl' should I find a postgres process in a particular
state? ('idle waiting on transaction', 'idle in transaction', or
something else)?
Should there be some other footprints lying around that I can look at?
Some record of the pending transaction in some postgres system tables?
...so call me clueless if you like, because I AM clueless. LOL

Frank
