I do not think is problem of not close the connections.
I bet the driver is acting like this:
On connection:
. Connect
. start transaction
On Commit:
. commit transaction
. start transaction
On Abort:
. abort transaction
. start transaction
On statemet:
. execute statement
As you can see you are always inside a transaction, idle I mean.
BTW this is the behaviour of python driver PgDB ( I suggest to
use psycopg instead ) and before the 8.0 series the JDBC driver
did the same. The way to solve it is, delay the begin till the first
statement:
On connection:
. Connect
On Commit:
. commit transaction
On Abort:
. abort transaction
On statemet:
. If is the first statement after a connection or a commit or
an abort execute the: start transaction
. execute statement
For rpm mantainer: why do not include the psycopg instead of the actual
python driver ?
