Hi all,

If there is nothing else wrong in our test case we noticed
the following:

We have done a test with two connections to the database on
different computers.  After the first client (writer) had
inserted new data into a quite simple table, it told another
client (by TCP communication) to be ready, however, this
second client (reader) did not see the data then immediately
in the database. So we delayed the reading client from 2 to
5s to have it see all data in the table.
Essential information is missing. Did the first client COMMIT before toggling client 2? Also you might find the information from http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/transaction-iso.html interesting, since that specifies how to control behaviour of concurrent transactions looking at each others data.
Secondly: If yes, is there a way to determine when newly
inserted data is visible to other clients?
Not before it is committed. To which clients the just committed data is visible depends on the transaction isolation level (see link above).

regards,
Yeb Havinga
