Tom Lane kindly steered me in the right direction to solve a physical disk drive problem after I posted my "'could not
readblock' error messages" message to this list on Jan. 8. After correcting the hardware problem, the script that
wasn'tworking on Jan. 8 is now working. Thank you, Mr. Lane, for your guidance.
A new problem has now bubbled to the surface. Another perl script that worked flawlessly for many years extracting
datafrom a PostgreSQL database and writing content to text files stopped working on Dec. 21. When I run the script
manuallytoday, I receive this error message:
DBD::Pg::db selectall_arrayref failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly at {script} line 692.
DBD::Pg::db selectall_arrayref failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly at {script} line 692.
Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect.
Line 692 of the script says:
my $ary_get = $dbhandle->selectall_arrayref($get);
The FreeBSD box hosting PostgreSQL shows this message in its /var/log/messages file everytime the script runs:
Jan 27 14:07:11 midas /kernel: pid 36906 (postgres), uid 70: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
