Hi, I’m developing an application using Postgres and when doing a transaction with a bunch of INSERT statements, the connection to the server (on localhost) often suddenly dies. Trying to diagnose the problem, I’ve increased log levels and I’ve run a tcpdump session to find out what’s going on, can someone spot something strange or point me in a direction to continue debugging? The symptom I notice is that the Postgres server (9.1 from Ubuntu repo) closes the connection, sometimes by sending a TCP FIN, sometimes by sending a TCP RST, but I’m not sure why this happens. The (node.js / node-postgres-pure) client doesn’t report any error message that could have been received from the server; it only complains that the connection unexpectedly closed during query execution. Log message around the time the connections stops. I’ve looked up some lines in the code on GitHub, but I can’t figure out what’s going on yet. Queries are large, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem, as a lot of those have been added before. 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST DEBUG: 00000: parse <unnamed>: INSERT INTO xx (xx xx, xx, xx, xx, xx) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5), ($1, $2, $6, $7, $8), ($1, $2, $9, $10, $11), ($1, $2, $12, $13, $14), ($1, $2, $15, $16, $17), ($1, $2, $18, $19, $20), ($1, $2, $21, $22, $23), ($1, $2, $24, $25, $26), ($1, (… cut …) 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST LOCATION: exec_parse_message, postgres.c:1146 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST DEBUG: 00000: StartTransactionCommand 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST LOCATION: start_xact_command, postgres.c:2426 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST DEBUG: 00000: bind <unnamed> to <unnamed> 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST LOCATION: exec_bind_message, postgres.c:1429 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST DEBUG: 00000: ProcessQuery 2014-04-04 15:16:33 CEST LOCATION: ProcessQuery, pquery.c:170 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: shmem_exit(0): 7 callbacks to make 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: shmem_exit, ipc.c:211 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: proc_exit(0): 4 callbacks to make 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: proc_exit_prepare, ipc.c:183 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOG: 00000: disconnection: session time: 0:01:04.287 u ser=postgres database=dev host=127.0.0.1 port=57848 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: log_disconnections, postgres.c:4375 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: exit(0) 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: proc_exit, ipc.c:135 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: shmem_exit(-1): 0 callbacks to make 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: shmem_exit, ipc.c:211 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: proc_exit(-1): 0 callbacks to make 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: proc_exit_prepare, ipc.c:183 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: reaping dead processes 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: reaper, postmaster.c:2360 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST DEBUG: 00000: server process (PID 20677) exited with e xit code 0 2014-04-04 15:16:34 CEST LOCATION: LogChildExit, postmaster.c:2873 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST DEBUG: 00000: attempting to remove WAL segments older than log file 000000010000003C00000071 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST LOCATION: RemoveOldXlogFiles, xlog.c:3364 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST DEBUG: 00000: recycled transaction log file "000000010 000003C00000071" 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST LOCATION: RemoveOldXlogFiles, xlog.c:3414 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST DEBUG: 00000: recycled transaction log file "000000010 000003C0000006F" 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST LOCATION: RemoveOldXlogFiles, xlog.c:3414 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST DEBUG: 00000: recycled transaction log file "000000010000003C00000070" 2014-04-04 15:16:37 CEST LOCATION: RemoveOldXlogFiles, xlog.c:3414 /Mark -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
