Hi, I am running postgres 8.2 on RH linux. My daemon downloads files and then inserts the data into preliminary tables, and finally calls a stored procedure which reads data from a view and inserts into the final table. I have a bit of a peculiar problem. (I understand this may not be the right venue). My deamon calls a stored procedure SP_LoadFiles(). The daemon stops syncing at about 6:30 pm and restarts syncing at about 7:30 am. Every day, I have to manually re-start the daemon for the function sp_LoadFiles() to actually load the files. I can see that the procedure is being called, but it does not load the data. If I run the procedure manually via psql : select * from sp_loadfiles(); it works and the data is loaded. my stored proc sp_loadfiles is accessing a View which is accessing a couple of tables. There is no dynamic sql being generated, just inserts from the view. Is this a connection issue? Do I have to end the daemons db connection. Is this set in the postgresql.conf? Thank you.
