Getting blocked when receinving response from a Parse message...

Hi all, I'm playing with this for one week with no luck... :( I'm implementing the 3.0 protocol version in Npgsql, a .Net Data provider for postgresql. I could get it working using the simple query and so, I started to work in the extended query. I stopped in the first message: Parse :( I send the parse message but I don't receive the ParseComplete or the ErrorResponse. My code simply freezes while reading the byte from network stream. I added some elog lines to check that I was sending the message correctly. I could even check that pq_putemptymessage('1') is being called in the exec_parse_message() method, but I don't know why I'm getting blocked when reading the data. It is strange because all the simple query mode tests I did work very well. Just this Parse message isn't working for me. Am I missing something? I'm using the latest cvs code on cygwin. Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Francisco Figueiredo Jr. ------ "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

The assumption is that in many cases you'll be sending Parse as part of a batch of commands, and the backend should batch its responses to minimize the number of network packets sent. So you have to tell it where the batch boundaries are --- thus, Flush or Sync. See the docs concerning the difference between the two. regards, tom lane

I have the same problem some days ago with the implementation of the version 3.0 protocol in C# and now using Flush it's working quite well :) -- Best regards

I didn't read carefully the final part of extended query where it says about the Flush message :) I didn't realize the idea of holding responses to minimize network traffic. I was thinking in the send reply style :) -- Regards, Francisco Figueiredo Jr. ------ "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

Uhmmm, if you don't mind... are you implementing something like a data provider for Postgresql, or it is just an ad hoc program? -- Regards, Francisco Figueiredo Jr. ------ "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

Hello: > Uhmmm, if you don't mind... are you implementing something like a data > provider for Postgresql, or it is just an ad hoc program? Well i start making a simple library for 3.0 protocol for curiosity only :), the protocol have a great documentation, butafter some some days i decide to try to make a Data Provider for protocol 3.0 only (I already have made a Data Provider for other RDMBMS :)), -- Best regards Carlos Guzmán Álvarez Vigo-Spain

Do you know about Npgsql? Please, have a look at gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql. It is a Postgresql .net data provider written 100% in C#. Maybe you could give some tips, suggestions, improvements, bug fixes... :) I'm right now implementing the extended query mode and as you and Tom Lane said, the Flush message worked very well. Thanks again. -- Regards, Francisco Figueiredo Jr. ------ "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

Hello: > That's very good! > Do you know about Npgsql? Yes i know about it, but i have no see it in deep ( i use Firebird as RDBMS at this moment ), i decide to take a glance at the 3.0 protocol using C# when i know about the plans for a native Windows version in 7.4 version :) , but i'm not sure if i'm going to finish the .NET data provider implementation. > Please, have a look at gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql. > It is a Postgresql .net data provider written 100% in C#. > Maybe you could give some tips, suggestions, improvements, bug fixes... :) :) -- Best regards Carlos Guzmán Álvarez Vigo-Spain
