Not if the problem is the client is confused. As long as the remote-end kernel doesn't indicate the connection is dead, we'll wait for the client to wake up and send us a command. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
