Re: LISTEN/NOTIFY problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you guys for your replies!

It is definitely something wrong with my code, here is the thread which does the listening:
http://mitek.id.au/flex/DBListener.cpp

The rest of application is fairly big and does not relate to the database.
For libpq calls I am using the SPTK (http://sptk.net) library. I've added additional wrappers for PGsocket, PQfreemem.

So the current code works without any problem, but as soon as I remove subcribe() function from the loop and call it just once, daemon eventually will stop getting notifications.
There is nothing wrong with the socket or db connections - all possible error will be logged.


Cheers,
Dmitri.

Hi everybody,

I've got a weird problem with LISTEN/NOTIFY.

My C++ app subscribes for the notifications, just like in libpq examples:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/libpq-example.html

The only difference, that I am setting the timeout on select just to check if application wants to exit.

//open session

//subscribe

while(!exit)
{
    sock = PGsocket(conn)
     
    res = select(sock);

    if (res)

   //check if it timeout
   //or if there was a notification


}

The problem that I am facing is that after some time notifications stop coming.
select() returns on timeout and nothing else.

Just as a test a included UNLISTEN/LISTEN sequence into the loop, so after timeout or event application re-subscribes. And this helps.

The question is, what I am doing wrong with the code in the first place?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Dmitri.
