Hi Evgeny, yes I am PUTTY. I knew it wasn't a postgres problem, but thought there might be some server variable controlling timeout. I didn't know that other SSH clients didn't have the same thing happen. Since I am logging to my machine remotely, I can't use the linux ssh client, but I'll s

I looked at putty's help documentation and found a keep-alive setting that will send empty packets every so often to keep the session active. It's pretty much the same thing that happens when FTPing to a remote server, and this is of course the same recourse used to keep FTPs from timing out as

I've finally decided to upgrade my postgresql installation. I'm currently running 7.3.2 on RedHat 9.0. Here's my dilemma: Since RedHat is no longer supporting their "RedHat" distributions, I can't really get a RPM for the upgrade. I'm concerned about orphaning files if I do a straight compil

We see the exact same condition when setting "setAutoCommit(FALSE)". However, we expected that situation based on what we understand as the way such a setting manifests itself within the Multi-Statement-Transaction handling of Postgres. Furthermore, we saw this exact same behavior under at least

[ADMIN] idle in transaction

2004-02-15 Thread Warren Little
We recently upgraded postgres from 7.3 to 7.4, along with the JDBC jar, and noticed all the backend processes/connections are left in the "idle in transaction" state where before they where left in the "idle" state.
