Isn't there the additional worry, that if the backend does not abort, that the client might not even notice the error (receives the next packet which happens to be aligned at row boundaries) ? Thus my understanding would be, that we eighter need to retry the send, or abort immediately. If you do the query cancel, and the connection problem was only intermittent then the client might receive the query cancelled response for which he is not prepared, no ? Imho if the backend cannot allways safely abort, that would be a bug, no ? Andreas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
