Обсуждение: pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection

Hi,

today I decided to look at postgres log file ( -d 2).
We use postgres as a database backend to apache+modperl server.
I notice  messages like:
pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
What does it means ?

StartTransactionCommand
query: select a.msg_id, h.status_set_date, a.title, a.msg_path, c.name from mes
ProcessQuery
CommitTransactionCommand
pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also I'm curious about postmaster's activity:

proc_exit(0) [#0]
shmem_exit(0) [#0]
exit(0)
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster: reaping dead processes...
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster: CleanupProc: pid 21507 exited with status 0

This message appears too often - I have in httpd.conf
MaxRequestsPerChild 5000, so I expect new httpd children  after 5000 requests 
and new postgress process accordingly (I use persistent connection
between httpd and postgres).
Regards,
    Oleg

Means your client closed the connection without sending a "terminate"
message first, ie, you didn't close down libpq gracefully.  It's harmless
enough, although I think having the log message is a good idea.  (If you
use clients that are careful to do PQfinish() then you can use the
postmaster log to check for client crashes.)

Well, that's certainly the trace of a backend quitting.  I'd say your
httpd stuff isn't working the way you think it is...

PS: I didn't hear back from you about INTERSECT/LIMIT --- is that still
broken for you?  I can't find anything wrong with it here.
