Hi there. i´m using postgre for 2 years now and i started to have this *INTERMITENT* error from pg_dump: pg_dump: Dumping the contents of table "adm_log" failed: PQgetCopyData() failed. pg_dump: Error message from server: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. pg_dump: The command was: COPY xcp0000000001.adm_log (seq_log, dth_evento, des_mensagem, des_usuario, des_objeto) TO stdout; Looking on the postgre logs i see this error: LOG: could not send data to client: Connection timed out STATEMENT: COPY xcp0000000001.adm_log (seq_log, dth_evento, des_mensagem, des_usuario, des_objeto) TO stdout; Informations: 1 - The database has only 18MB. 2 - The adm_log table has a text field with relative large content (java stacktraces) 3 - The database has 12 schemas and they are generated by a script that copies the structure from one and creates another. 4 - I never ran VACUMM ou ANALYSE or REINDEX commands. 5 - The database is using the default configuration (autovaccum on) Anybody has a hint? I´m afraid that can lead to a bigger problem. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/pg-dump-postgre-9-2-and-server-closed-the-connection-unexpectedly-tp5866825.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
