Please help me understand this better. It appears to me that when the client->backend pipe fills up, pqSendSome() consumes any incoming NOTICE/WARNING messages before waiting, which should prevent deadlock. I'll look at the code again, maybe I missed something. Thx, Alon. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
