This takes some time to execute (~25 minutes) and then it will usually return the results to the application and everything is golden. However occasionally we see something like the below, where the query finishes, but the connection gets unexpectedly closed from Postgres’ perspective. From the application’s perspective the connection is still alive, and it sits there forever waiting for the result. Is the application remote from the database server? My gut reaction to this type of report is "something timed out the network connection", but there would have to be a router or firewall or the like in between to make that a tenable explanation. If that is the issue, you should be able to fix it by making the server's TCP keepalive settings more aggressive. regards, tom lane
