When encountering error 3B000: Savepoint Exception
in PostgreSQL, the user should:
tail -f /path/to/your/logfile
(replacing /path/to/your/logfile
with the actual path to your PostgreSQL log file) to view the latest log entries.SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'active';
to identify any active transactions that might be related to the error. This can help in pinpointing if a particular transaction is causing the savepoint issue.SELECT * FROM pg_locks JOIN pg_stat_activity ON pg_locks.pid = pg_stat_activity.pid WHERE NOT granted;
to find any locks that might be causing the savepoint to fail. Lock contention can sometimes lead to errors when trying to establish a savepoint in a transaction.SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('yourdatabasename'));
(replacing 'yourdatabasename'
with the name of your database) to check if the database size is within expected limits and SELECT * FROM pg_stat_database WHERE datname = 'yourdatabasename';
for general database statistics that might indicate performance issues.Each action is aimed at providing immediate insights or resolving the specific issue without assuming administrative database support.
