Thank you guys for your replies!
It is definitely something wrong with my code, here is the thread which does the listening:
http://mitek.id.au/flex/DBListener.cppThe rest of application is fairly big and does not relate to the database.
For libpq calls I am using the SPTK (
http://sptk.net) library. I've added additional wrappers for PGsocket,
PQfreemem.
So the current code works without any problem, but as soon as I remove subcribe() function from the loop and call it just once, daemon eventually will stop getting notifications.
There is nothing wrong with the socket or db connections - all possible error will be logged.
Cheers,
Dmitri.

Hi everybody,
I've got a weird problem with LISTEN/NOTIFY.
My C++ app subscribes for the notifications, just like in libpq examples:
The only difference, that I am setting the timeout on select just to check if application wants to exit.
//open session
//subscribe
while(!exit)
{
sock = PGsocket(conn)
res = select(sock);
if (res)
//check if it timeout
//or if there was a notification
}
The problem that I am facing is that after some time notifications stop coming.
select() returns on timeout and nothing else.
Just as a test a included UNLISTEN/LISTEN sequence into the loop, so after timeout or event application re-subscribes. And this helps.
The question is, what I am doing wrong with the code in the first place?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Dmitri.
