thank you very much for this information...while i suppose you're right that
it's not as good as a fix, it is much better than the brick wall that i've
been facing (my app cannot be shipped in its current state).  your
workaround should be relatively easy to implement and i can't argue with
your success rate!

thanks again, and i'll let you know if i learn anything new.

Chris,

I had the same problem on the insert side and thought it went away but
it is back and I am convinced it is related to more than one thread using
the same connection at the same time.  What I have done as a work around
in the interim ( until I write my own connection manager class ) is catch
the exception and try the insert again with another connection.  If it still

fails I delete the connections I have and create new ones and the insert
ALWAYS works after that.  So it appears to me that something is happening
to my connection object that is causing it to get corrupted to some extent.
Once a connection throws this exception it seems much more likely to do so
again which is why I am deleting connections and creating new ones if I have
2 failures back to back.  This isn't the answer you are looking for but
I hoped it might help you think of other ways to troubleshoot your problem.

Since I put this work around in I have been able to run a very high rate
and haven't lost any data on the insert side.  My guess is that these
Fastpath
transactions are very slow compared to non fastpath transactions and it
is easy to use a connection that hasn't finished what it is doing.

I even used a synchronized method to hopefully block on the connection
but this didn't fix the problem either.  Must be some threading going on
in the connection class.  I haven't had the time to go through the code
but I will at some point.

I know someone out there has some insight that could help.

hello.  i have some more details on this problem...i found the reference to
calling rollback when you get this sort of error.
(http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1030879)... i have started
doing that, but i am still getting the problem.

i have the setup shown below...i've learned that i can usually get around
the fastpath error if i try the query a few times...so i make it call up to
10 times if there is an error...the po.load() call runs the (SELECT
versionid, versionid, versioncomment, versionlabel, creatorid, documentid,
versionorder, datestamp, versioncontent FROM
document_version WHERE versionid = 1034272) query from the last message i
sent (see below)...if that throws an exception, i catch it, rollback, and
contine...i am still seeing the same behavior though...

    public void loadComplex(User user) throws SBHException {
        int iterations = 10;
        try {
            //## TODO:
            //## occasionally get a fastpath exception here...try to
            //## call load() as many as 10 times if there is an exception...
            //## this is here only as a test...
            //## chris markiewicz
            int i = 0;
            boolean exceptionfound = false;
            boolean goodResult = false;
            while (!goodResult && i < iterations) {
                try {
                    i++;
                    dv = (DocumentVersion)po.load(versionid, user);
                    goodResult = true;
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.out.println("SBHDocument.loadComplex exception
attempt:"+i);
                    try {po.rollback(user);} catch (Exception e3) {...log
here...}
                    exceptionfound = true;
                    Log.log("SBHDocument.loadComplex attempt:"+i);
                    Log.log("SBHDocument.loadComplex e:"+e);
                    if (i == (iterations - 1)) {
                        throw e;
                    }
                }
            }
            if (exceptionfound) {
                ...log here...
            }
        } catch (TransactionException te) {
            throw te;
        } catch (SBHSecurityException sse) {
            throw sse;
        } catch (SBHException sbe) {
            throw sbe;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new SBHException(e);
        }
    }

here is the log calling that query many times:

Hello.

I have been having problems with postgresql large objects...i have been
searching the archives of this group and i have posted a question or two but
i have so far be unable to resolve the issues.  right now, i have a screen
that loads a few LOs...they occasionally don't make it to the screen.  i see
a couple of different errors in my log files (which i included below).  i
turned on debugging (d2) and i see the following on many of my queries (see
below).

DEBUG:  StartTransactionCommand
DEBUG:  query: SELECT DISTINCT sbhd.timestamp AS "modifydate",
sbhd.versionid AS "versionid", sbhd.documentdescription AS

what causes the "current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end
of transaction block?"  the first query in the above debug block does not
load an LO, but the second one does.  after the second query, seems like all
subsequent have that message...my log file starts getting a bunch of the
following:

No results were returned by the query.

what should i look for?  can i get other information from logs (i think i
can raise the log level to 3 if it would help).  i can send pieces of code,
but our data layer is pretty abstracted, so i don't know how much that would
help.

finally, an apology.  i started a thread about this issue a few weeks ago
but got pulled onto some other stuff.  i am determined to follow this until
i fix it this time.

i appreciate your help.
chris
