As sure as I can be, yes.

Run by Qt's main event loop, my code simply creates ten objects of a
particular class. The class declares a static mutex, each object starts a
single thread in whose lifetime a new database connection is setup, used and
destroyed again. So this is something simular to the boss/workers design
pattern adapted to Qt's signal/slot mechanism (which explains why I'm using a
class object per additional thread).

Looking at Qt's code it seems inevitable that a separate PGconn object isused for each and every connection made. I've
takenthis problem up withTrollTech first, they are pretty sure it's not caused by their libs.

I know TrollTech is using Purify, I have Valgrind available. You'll find the
output of a run with the option '--trace-pthread=some' attached.

FYI, QSqlDatabase::commit() (sql/qsqldatabase.cpp:775) contains:if ( !d->driver->hasFeature( QSqlDriver::Transactions )
)   return FALSE;
 
The parameter is an enum, inside QSqlDriver (the one specific to PostgreSQL),
this resolves into a plain:bool QPSQLDriver::hasFeature( DriverFeature f ) const{    switch ( f ) {    case
Transactions:       return TRUE;    case QuerySize:        return TRUE;    case BLOB:        return pro >=
QPSQLDriver::Version71;   case Unicode:        return d->isUtf8;    default:        return FALSE;    }}
 



Best,




Frank.
