There is a deadlock_timeout parameter in the configure file, which is "the
time in milliseconds to wait on lock before checking for deadlock." If a
deadlock is resolved, you will see an error message like "deadlock detected"
with some details. Also, you can see current lock status via pg_locks view
to see "information about the locks held by open transactions within the
database server". More details can be found in the docs.
