Thread: Broken pipe error

Broken pipe error

From
"admin"
Date:
With the PostgresSQL 8.0, I have experienced a broken pipe error for some
times. One new Java web application experiences this problem in every ten
day or so. This problem becomes a big problem right now for the enterprise
application. Is the jdbc driver problem or something else?

Thanks.

I think the only possible answer to a question this vague is "maybe".

Less flippantly, we can probably help you better if you provide more
information on the types of errors you're seeing (e.g., a full stack
trace), whether your application was doing anything unusual at the
time of the error (e.g., in terms of query workload, PostgreSQL notify
messages, etc.), and anything else that might be relevant. From
watching the list, I'm not aware of any open issues leading the driver
to break a connection.

Hi Maciek,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Here is log messages from one application:

The driver version is pg74.213.jdbc3.jar. The PostgreSQL is 8.x.x.

Thanks a lot.

In particular, you'll really need to supply the contents of the
PostgreSQL log files from around the time the error occurred.

I don't have a direct access of the PostgreSQL log file. I have to ask
other to get the DB log messages. Here is what I get back:

"web_menu2_pkey" for table "web_menu2"
WARNING:  no privileges could be revoked
WARNING:  no privileges could be revoked
WARNING:  no privileges were granted

There isn't time stamp at all. Is a switch of timestamp in the log file?
