Thread:
Good afternoon,
We have a situation where we call our central queue processor from a remote machine using a Perl script.
We can process up to 1500 ‘type 1’ records followed by 5 ‘type 2 records. We process any number successfully
Before we get the following error:
ERROR: could not send data to client: Broken pipe
There is no pattern or record that we see causing this error.
When we run this manually on the local machine we do not get this error. It is a Postgres function that is called.
I would appreciate any insight into this matter.
Thank you,
Mark Steben

Is there a firewall in between that is timing out the TCP connection
because it's "idle"?

Hi! Is there a NAT firewall or something like it involved anywhere between the two machines? If so, the connection may time outat some point in time, and neither server nor client would be notified that the connection is lost. An "ERROR: could notsend data to client: Broken pipe" message indicates almost certainly some kind of connection problem, so it's not reallya PostgreSQL issue, but more like a networking one.
