Hello, I am using PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on RH 6.2 The DB works smoothly in the past 8 months but until recently, the system would hang when doing insert or update statements. When I use ps aux I found a lot of processes like postgres localhost xxx xxx INSERT postgres localhost xxx xxx SELECT postgres localhost xxx xxx idle are running When I killed one process using kill -TERM pid all those processes gone and the DB returns to normal. But after some insert/update, the problem exists again... I tried to use strace on the process and found that they seems waiting for something since the following statements are execution repeatedly select (0, NULL, NULL, ..... Maybe they had been fall in some infinite loop.. Could you give me some help ? Best regards, -- Lee Kwok Shing (***) http://www.geocities.com/lkslee.geo
