Thread: Unsupported frontend protocol

Unsupported frontend protocol

From

pgAdmin III devel 0.9.1 August 24th
PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on Redhat 7.2 GCC 2.96

I am getting the following type of messages in the server log file when using
pgAdmin III.

>Sep 18 09:31:00 CISX_Linux1 postgres[32277]: [2] FATAL: unsupported frontend
protocol

It does not stop pgAdmin from running in any way, but am just curious in case
it is some sort of bug.
My guess is that pgAdmin starts using the new 7.4 protocol and when that fails
it falls back to using an older protocol - would that be correct?

TIA
Donald

This is my guess too, but I haven't looked at details. You could ask on 
pgsql-hackers for more.
