+ Another useful tool for monitoring database activity is the
+ <code class="structname">pg_locks</code> system table. It allows the
+ database administrator to view information about the outstanding
+ locks in the lock manager. For example, this capability can be used
+ to:
+
+ </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
+ View all the locks currently outstanding, all the locks on
+ relations in a particular database, all the locks on a
+ particular relation, or all the locks held by a particular
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> session.
+ </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ Determine the relation in the current database with the most
+ ungranted locks (which might be a source of contention among
+ database clients).
+ </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
+ Determine the effect of lock contention on overall database
+ performance, as well as the extent to which contention varies
+ with overall database traffic.
+ </p></li></ul></div><p>
+
+ Details of the <code class="structname">pg_locks</code> view appear in
+ <a class="xref" href="view-pg-locks.html" title="54.12. pg_locks">Section 54.12</a>.
+ For more information on locking and managing concurrency with
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>, refer to <a class="xref" href="mvcc.html" title="Chapter 13. Concurrency Control">Chapter 13</a>.
