> This is the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait on a lock
before checking to see if there is a deadlock condition. The
check for deadlock is relatively expensive, so the server doesn't run
it every time it waits for a lock. We optimistically assume
that deadlocks are not common in production applications and
just wait on the lock for a while before checking for a
deadlock. Increasing this value reduces the amount of time
wasted in needless deadlock checks, but slows down reporting of
real deadlock errors. The default is one second (<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>1s</TT
>),
which is probably about the smallest value you would want in
practice. On a heavily loaded server you might want to raise it.
Ideally the setting should exceed your typical transaction time,
so as to improve the odds that a lock will be released before
the waiter decides to check for deadlock. Only superusers can change
this setting.

this parameter also determines the length of time to wait before
a log message is issued about the lock wait. If you are trying

normal <TT
