I am running Postgresql 6.5 in combination with Apache and the Apache
JServ servlet engine. It seems that whenever I connect to the database
from within one of my servlets, another postgres process is created that
just sits around for a while. This is really logging down my server.
After not too long I have far too many /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postgres
and [postmaster] processes sitting around.
Does anyone know what this is happening and/or how I can stop it. I
can't figure out whether it has something to do with me not closing the
database connection correctly (which I believe I am) or a postgres
configuration problem or what.
Thanks,
Paul J Thompson
