Yeah, I'm not satisfied by that. It's an improvement in the technical sense - it replaces an infinite retry that spins at top speed with a slower retry that won't flog your CPU quite so badly, but the chances that it will actually succeed in correcting the underlying problem seem infinitesimal. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
