Clear. Thanks for your answer.
But what happens with a db transaction upon disconnect? If I have (say, in c++
code or a script):
begin;
query1;
query2;
query3;
query4;
query5;
commit;
(with possibly some extra c++ or script code in between queries), and
somewhere at the time when query2 is being executed some other backend
crashes; session gets disconnected and automatically connected: what would
happen to next queries which would be executed by the external code (query3, 4
and so on)? They would not be executed outside of db transaction, wouldn't
they? I would hope that they all keep failing up until next commit/rollback or
something similar...
Best,
