Hi,

I have a question.

I am accessing a postgres database from an HTML front-end through a perl script.
In principle everything works fine.
However, it has happened now twice that for nor apparent reason (at least for me)
I get a lock on the database
error_message:

  WARN:Jun 29 10:55:04:WaitOnLock: error on wakeup - Aborting this transaction

I can still list entries, but make NO modification or deletion.

Do you have an idea what the problem may be and how the lock could have
appeared and how to clear it.
