It has not been backported.

[GENERAL] Threads limit for postmaster

2010-02-26 Thread Igor Neyman
Hello all,
 
I found this conversation in mailing lists archives:
 
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-11/msg01669.php
 
OP in this conversation exactly describes my current problem (thread
limit for postmaster running on Windows). 
 
I'm running 8.2.5, which predates this conversation, and unfortunately
in the nearest future I'm not able to upgrade to newer major releas (8.3
or 8.4).
But I could upgrade to latest 8.2.15 easily.
In the convesation Magnus H. mentions possible fix "backport" into 8.2.
 
I looked through all 8.2 release notes (upto 8.2.15), but couldn't find
any reference to this fix beeing backported into 8.2.
 
So, was it or was it not backported into 8.2.5?
 
Magnus, sorry for sending this message to you directly (as well as to
the list), but it's a really "hot" issue for me.
 
Regards,
Igor Neyman

I don't think so. This looks like the running out of address-space in the 
postmaster problem, which is a different one.

Would increasing the Desktop shared memory size, as described in another
thread , by changing a registry setting would help his case?

This is a known limitation and will be fixed in 8.3. We'll consider
backporting this to 8.2 once it has been proven in the field. So if you
can, please download the latest beta of 8.3 and give that a try.

[GENERAL] Threads limit for postmaster

2007-11-29 Thread Guillaume Pungeot
Hi,
I have a problem when a lot of connexions are opened on postgresql.

When 243 threads have been created by postmaster, the next CreateThread
fails and the following error is written in pglogs : "FATAL:  could not
create sigchld waiter thread: error code 8".

I need to open more than 300 connexions on my server.
Is there anyone to help me ?

OS : windows 2003 server x64 edition.

Regards
