Hi,

But pg_stat_activity joined with pg_locks only give me informations
about the lock itself.
Realy, I want a (possible) simple information: Who is locking me ?

Today, I *presume* this information by manually search the pg_locks:

1) Search for the locked tables
2) Search for all lock GRANTED to this tables
3) Generally, the older PID is the locker

Not so smart, I think. :)

Best regards,

Alexandre
