But that would suggest that the DBI code is requesting an SSL session and then not knowing what to do when it gets its wish. Which sounds awfully broken of it. Perhaps this is some sort of version mismatch? What PG version is the server, and what DBD::Pg code are you using? Also, you might be better off asking in pgsql-interfaces, where there's a higher chance of finding someone who knows anything about DBI/DBD. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
