Hi All
 
 I am using postgres-8.4.0 and psqlodbc-08.03.0400-1 and unixODBC-2.2.14-000.01 driver to connect
to the database. One of the queries I executed from my application 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 :

One other thread of the same process was also stuck :

I had the same issue while using postgres-8.1.2 and was advised to upgrade postgres.

But upgrading the postgres version didn't resolve the issue  .
There doesn't seem to be any locking issue either .
 
Can anyone please shed some light on this issue .

Thanks...
Tamanna
