since I moved from postgres 7.1 to 7.3 I get hangs when executing a select on certaint rows with binary data using psql
The problem is reproducible and affects only single rows in the table . The hangs happen only when I connect via network unsing psql -h localhost template1 And the problem is gone, when ssl is switched off in postgresql.conf But the problem seems to be on the client side, cause its the same using a 7.1 server. I have generated a testcase with 2 rows, one works the other not: The table looks like this create table testy ( id integer, data bytea ); (I can send a dump of the table with the offending rows to anybody interessted by mail -- its about 130 K ) select * from testy where id=28162 --> works select * from testy where id=28163 --> hangs + process goes up to 99% utilisation The offending row is much larger, that might trigger. I use a debian system with: postgresql 7.3.3-1 client and server -- Hans-Jürgen Hay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
