Thread: Using psql
Using psql I have had this error appearing in the last 2 days
that has not before,
we are using postgres 6.2 on Redhat linux 6.2
NOTICE: Message from PostgreSQL backend:
The Postmaster has informed me that some other backend died abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
I have rolled back the current transaction and am going to terminate your database system connection and exit.
Please reconnect to the database system and repeat your query.
pqFlush() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

Does anyone know what could be causing this.

Well, that's a really old version of postgres. You should probably upgrade. In any case, there should be something more informative in the server's logs (hopefully you've been redirecting them somewhere useful).
