As part of the training class I did, some people tested what happens when the client allocates tons of memory to store a result and aborts.
What we found was that though elog was properly called: elog(COMMERROR, "pq_recvbuf: recv() failed: %m"); (I think that was the message.) the backend did not exit and kept eating CPU. I think the problem is that the elog code only exits on ERROR, not COMMERROR. Is there some way to fix this? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
