STL_TR_CONFLICT

Displays information to identify and resolve transaction conflicts with database tables.

A transaction conflict occurs when two or more users are querying and modifying data rows from tables such that their transactions cannot be serialized. The transaction that runs a statement that would break serializability is stopped and rolled back. Every time a transaction conflict occurs, Amazon Redshift writes a data row to the STL_TR_CONFLICT system table containing details about the canceled transaction. For more information, see Serializable isolation.

STL_TR_CONFLICT is visible only to superusers. For more information, see Visibility of data in system tables and views.

Some or all of the data in this table can also be found in the SYS monitoring view SYS_TRANSACTION_HISTORY. The data in the SYS monitoring view is formatted to be easier to use and understand. We recommend that you use the SYS monitoring view for your queries.

Sample query

To return information about conflicts that involved a particular table, run a query that specifies the table ID: 

select * from stl_tr_conflict where table_id=100234
order by xact_start_ts;

xact_id|process_|      xact_start_ts       |        abort_time        |table_
       |id      |                          |                          |id

You can get the table ID from the DETAIL section of the error message for serializability violations (error 1023).
