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,

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. 

Kind regards
