Thread: Fastpath error on solaris 2.8 pgsql 7.1.3

Fastpath error on solaris 2.8 pgsql 7.1.3

From
T.R.Missner@Level3.com

Anyone seen this error before?

It doesn't happen every time I insert a blob so
I assume the code is correct.  Only happens occasionaly.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot
this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

FastPath call returned ERROR:  lo_write: invalid large obj descriptor (0)

I don't know if this is related to JDBC or not but the code I
am using to insert the blob is JDBC.

I have exactly the same problem...it happens randomly, it seems.  maybe 5%
of the time.  also happens on selects (lo_read though).  the only advice
that i've seen on the topic is to make sure that autocommit is set to false,
which i've done, but i still see the problem.

unfortunately, my next attempt at a fix was going to be to upgrade to 7.1
(i'm currently on 7.0.3 on linux)...but i see that you already use 7.1...

sorry i can't help...

chris

Usually this indicates that you didn't have the lo_open ... lo_write
... lo_close sequence wrapped in a transaction block (BEGIN/COMMIT
SQL commands).  Since it's erratic for you, I'd bet that some of your
application control paths have the BEGIN and some don't.

Tom,

When I say that this problem is erratic, I mean that sometimes a given piece
of code works and sometimes it doesn't - not that some pieces work and some
don't (don't know if that helps).

How is a BEGIN indicated?  I get a Connection, grab a Statement from it, and
run my query.  Do I have to do anything special to tell Fastpath that I am
BEGINning a transaction?

Thanks
chris

So I wanted to thank you. Indeed I did have a thread problem
in my application that caused the same connection to be used by
more than one thread at time.  Thus the occassional problem
due to transactions being out of sync.

Chris -- you can explicity call myStatement.execute("BEGIN");
and myStatement.execute("COMMIT");
or you can simply use myConnection.setAutoCommit(true); or false when
finished.
This accomplishes the same thing as BEGIN/COMMIT.
