I am using postgresql as the backend to a job tracking system. My front app is running only on Mac OS X.
I have been using notifications from postgresql to tell my user if the current record they are looking at has been updated by someone else. Obviously I am only 'listening' when a user is looking at a particular job. I am concerned about usage of the listen and unlisten. How does the backend know if my app didn't quit unexpectidly? I mean I don't think my app has ever crashed :)... and I do make sure if the user quits that I close the connection. But I have a few users that are using laptops on a wireless network. We are in a building in manhattan and not infrequently the wireless connection is lost. After all this conversation.. I guess my question is.. am I leaking 'listens' if I don't close them properly? I only created a few users and most of the connections are from one of the user accounts. I do not have separate user accounts. Is this a problem waiting to bite me later?
