Hi all, I sent the following email to the php mailing list also but maybe this is a more appropriate mailing list. I wrote a php script which is running very long queries (hours) on a database. I seem to have a problem to run the code when there are single queries which take long times (like 5 hours for an update query), from the log of the database I received the following code: 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 00000: duration: 18730038.678 ms statement: UPDATE product_temp SET nleft=(SELECT 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: exec_simple_query, postgres.c:1035 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 08006: could not send data to client: Broken pipe 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: internal_flush, pqcomm.c:1050 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 08P01: unexpected EOF on client connection 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: SocketBackend, postgres.c:287 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOG: 00000: disconnection: session time: 6:04:58.52 2005-09-30 17:12:13 IDT postgres : LOCATION: log_disconnections, postgres.c:3403 Now after the 5 hours update it need to echo into a log file a line which say that it ended this command (just for me to know the times), my assumption is that PHP read the code into memory at start and opened the connection to the file, after a time which he waited to any given "life sign" he gave up and closed the connection to the file, and when the code came back to the file it encountered no connection to the file (broken pipe). Am I correct at my assumption? if so how can I set the PHP to wait how much I tell him? Ofcourse if im wrong I would like to know the reason also :) Thanks in advance, Ben-Nes Yonatan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
