pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
        This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is
impossible.  Terminating.
[ange@ange ange]$


what is the problem with my query ?
is it a bug ?

another problem is that after backend crash, there is a file called
browser in this database directory :

[root@ange zonecommerce]# ls -l
