Hello, while evaluating pgpool-II (replication mode) I ran into a situation where I don't know the reason why.... The setup looks like: --------------------- host "one": postgres8.3.5 (defined as backend_0) and pgpoolII (port 9999) host "two": postgres8.3.5 (defined as backend_1) According to the tutorial I created database "bench_replication" and inserted dummy data => everything's fine In the next step I wanted to create some error scenarios: a) shutdown "two" while a running update statement aa) psql -p 9999 bench_replication ab) update history set tid=<whatever>; ac) while the update is running, kill postgres on host "two" => pgpool got noticed about that and cancelled the update b) shutdown "one" while statement is running ba) psql -p 9999 bench_replication bb) update history set tid=<whatever>; bc) kill postgres on host "one" (same host where pgpool is running) => nothing happens, psql never ends the statement, even no debug entry in the logfile of pgpool...?!?!?! why doesn't pgpool recognize that postgres isn't running on host "one" ? Am I missing something..?!?! any help appreciated....GERD.... -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
