The referred client is a Windows psql 8.2.4 utility. This client is running
as part of a Windows PostgreSQL 8.2.4 server where we are making this tests
against the SUSE Postgresql 8.2.4 server.
But the problem first was reported by users of our Visual Basic
applications. After debuging the application we realized that all the
problems reported with the VB applications were with the "select *"
statements. We used the Windows PostgreSQL 8.2.4 server to make the psql
"select *" into the SUSE PostgreSQL 8.2.4 server because we suspected that
the problem with the VB applications was the ODBC driver but when the psql
from the PostgreSQL 8.2.4 Windows server tried to do the same "select *"
into the SUSE and it locked, we discard the possibility of a problem with
the ODBC driver.
