Hi, I have been using PostgreSQL 7.2.2 for a while now on one of our live machines, however all of a sudden with no warning, we are no longer able to run any UPDATE statements on one of our databases. SELECT and INSERT statements have no issues.
The error we are getting is: "The backend has broken the connection. Possibly the action you have attempted has caused it to close." Immediately after this call the database system restarts itself. We are using: Red Hat Linux Apache 1.3.26 PostgreSQL 7.2.2 Java 1.4 + the latest PostgreSQL jdbc driver from jdbc.postgresql.org Configuration: We are running postmaster -i listening on localhost only. We have 3 PostgreSQL databases on the same machine, and the other two have no problems at all (yet). They are all using the same software mentioned above. Things i have tried: Restarting JVM and Apache (problem still occurs) Restarting postmaster -i (problem still occurs) Vaccuming all databases (problem still occurs) Rebooting entire machine (problem still occurs) Dropping the database and creating another (worked for a while, but after processing SQL calls for about a day and a half the problem started up again) Is there anything i can do to fix this? Has anyone else seen this before? We need our database system back up and running ASAP.
