Hello We have a problem with our database. It is accessed by Java using Hibernate. When the program has been running for a couple of weeks some transactions are delayed and are executed up to an hour later than then they are first called. If the computer is restarted it will take about a week before the problems appear again. If the following sequence of commands is executed (reinserting the data) then it will take a couple of weeks before the problem appears again. pg_dump > file.sql dropdb createdb psql < file.sql Is this behaviour something seen before and in that case: how to get around it? I also need to know why it is happening so that when I have a solution I can guarantee that the problem will not appear again. The system with the problem is unfortunately placed abroad with very limited remote access. Therefore "Try this, and try that"-solutions are not possible in this case. I have a hard time reproducing the error on my local system which makes the problem so much harder. If no cause can be found: Are there any other useful tips? Versions running: Linux Fedora Core 3 psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4.8 jdk1.5.0_02 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Luggage? GPS? Comic books?
