I recieved this report of a failing set of queries: BEGIN; CREATE TABLE a (i INT); INSERT INTO a VALUES(1); DECLARE acur CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM a; FETCH acur; \q
It certainly looks like a simple set of queries. If this is done in 8.0.X the server shows: FATAL: block 0 of 1663/17230/58190 is still referenced (private 2, global 1) LOG: server process (PID 14655) exited with exit code 1 LOG: terminating any other active server processes LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing LOG: database system was interrupted at 2005-03-17 23:20:52 EST In CVS HEAD this seems to hang the server session in a way I have not determined, but shutting down the server is impossible unless you use pg_ctl -m immediate stop. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
