   The transaction IDs of currently executing transactions are shown in
   <a class="link" href="view-pg-locks.html" title="54.12. pg_locks"><code class="structname">pg_locks</code></a>
   in columns <code class="structfield">virtualxid</code> and
   <code class="structfield">transactionid</code>.  Read-only transactions
   will have <code class="structfield">virtualxid</code>s but NULL
   <code class="structfield">transactionid</code>s, while both columns will be
   set in read-write transactions.
  </p><p>
   Some lock types wait on <code class="structfield">virtualxid</code>,
   while other types wait on <code class="structfield">transactionid</code>.
   Row-level read and write locks are recorded directly in the locked
   rows and can be inspected using the <a class="xref" href="pgrowlocks.html" title="F.31. pgrowlocks — show a table's row locking information">pgrowlocks</a>
   extension.  Row-level read locks might also require the assignment
   of multixact IDs (<code class="literal">mxid</code>;  see <a class="xref" href="routine-vacuuming.html#VACUUM-FOR-MULTIXACT-WRAPAROUND" title="25.1.5.1. Multixacts and Wraparound">Section 25.1.5.1</a>).
