Short description: Problem with terminating the backend unexpectedly after
using SELECT statement (see bottom for more). It is not of high importance,
because for that select there is another working solution through using
outer join.
Version of Postgresql:
PostgreSQL 7.1 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC egcs-2.91.66
Linux version:
Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.17
Umount of RAM: 200+ MB, procesor AMD Duron 750+ MHz
Description:
-------------------------------------------------------
create table tab_a (id INT, umount int, note text);
create table tab_b (id INT, note1 text);
insert into tab_a values(1,2,'item a');
insert into tab_a values(2,3,'item b');
insert into tab_a values(3,2,'item c');
insert into tab_a values(4,1,'item d');
insert into tab_b values(1,'A');
insert into tab_b values(3,'A');
insert into tab_b values(3,'B');
SELECT a.id, a.note,
SUM(a.umount) as total, CASE WHEN EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM tab_b b WHERE b.id = a.id) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS
known_one
FROM tab_a a
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM tab_b b WHERE b.note1 = 'B' AND b.id = a.id)
GROUP BY a.id,a.note, known_one;
--------------------------------------------------------------
will cause:
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly. This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.
---------------------------------------------------------------
and items from server log:
Server process (pid 1579) exited with status 139 at Wed Feb 27 12:12:24 2002
