Hi, I just installed PostgreSQL 6.5.1 for Digital Unix 4.0d. The regression test for rules failed with the following message in the "regression.diffs" file: QUERY: update rtest_v1 set a = rtest_t3.a + 20 where b = rtest_t3.b; ! pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly. ! This probably means the backend terminated abnormally ! before or while processing the request. ! We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is impossible. Terminating. A few other tests failed, but they checked out OK (different error messages, slight precision differences, etc.) I tried following: $ psql regression Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor: Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL [PostgreSQL 6.5.1 on alphaev56-dec-osf4.0d, compiled by cc ] type \? for help on slash commands type \q to quit type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query You are currently connected to the database: regression regression=> update rtest_v1 set a = rtest_t3.b where b = rtest_t3.b; UPDATE 8 regression=> update rtest_v1 set a = rtest_t3.b + 20 where b = rtest_t3.b; pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly. This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks for the help. Robert Adam ************
