[ raised eyebrow ... ] Say again? I don't know of any reason why a lost connection would cause loss of (successfully committed) transactions.

Please describe the scenarios you've had problems with. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
