Hi All
 
I am using postgres-8.1.2 and have been using psqlodbc-08.03.0200 driver to connect
to the databse. One of the queries I executed from my appilcation have got stuck for an
indefinite amount of time causing my application to hang. So I cored the application. The
core file gives a backtrace which shows it got stuck while waiting for a socket to get
ready as follows :
 
#0  0xb7fe4410 in ?? ()
#1  0xbfca07b8 in ?? ()
#2  0xffffffff in ?? ()
#3  0x00000001 in ?? ()
#4  0xb7d0fdc4 in poll () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#5  0xb6fef7b4 in SOCK_wait_for_ready (sock=0x87171d0, output=0, retry_count=1) at socket.c:529

    flag=0, stmt=0x8720730, appendq=0x0) at connection.c:2524

#13 0xb7e8713c in SQLExecute (statement_handle=0x8720158) at SQLExecute.c:283

Can anyone please let me know what can cause this.
Even if it didnt find the socket ready ,  why not it simply come out giving some error
instead of getting stuck for an indefinite period.
 
Thanks...
