Thread: is there any backend (server) timeout undocumented?
Hi! I have sended the message below to pgadmin-support (by mistake I think) and to pgsql-hackers but receive no answers... I hope you can help me on this... Is there any server timeout that is undocumented? I've issued a query like the one below and the server timed out after 120min (+/-). The query "construct_warehouse()" can last well above the 120min because it fills a table with millions of tuples... I really believe in PostgreSQL! :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- spid=> vacuum full analyze ; select construct_warehouse() ; vacuum analyze ; NOTICE: Skipping "pg_group" --- only table or database owner can VACUUM it NOTICE: Skipping "pg_database" --- only table or database owner can VACUUM it NOTICE: Skipping "pg_shadow" --- only table or database owner can VACUUM it VACUUM server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed. You are currently not connected to a database. !> \q ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've searched the archives for some documented timeout but nothing... I've searched the postgresql.conf file and nothing... Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance! Note: the first time I noticed a time out was using a JDBC driver and then I've tested in the pgsql console to confirm it. Please reply to: nach@fct.unl.pt.

What does ps aux show while the query is running. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Canada, Mexico, and Australia form the Axis of Nations That > Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America
