Hi,
I'm running PostgreSQL 6.3.2. on SPARC Solaris 2.6.
I have several Web applications that I run under
mod_perl, using Apache::DBI to achieve persistent
database connections. I now have three databases
that connect on initialisation when Apache starts
up, which essentially means each Apache process has
an associated postgres process (or 2 by the looks
of it). When I have the three databases connecting
at start-up, there are about 60+ postgres processes.
When there are three databases that connect at
start-up, the most complicated application fails
with the following error:
NOTICE: SIAssignBackendId: discarding tag 2147483647
The other applications do not fail. If I only start
the database for this application on start-up, I do
not get this message.
The machine has 256 MB RAM + 256 MB swap. I don't think
there should be a resource problem.
Does anyone know what is going on here and how I can
fix it? Will 6.4 fix it? I know it's worth trying 6.4
but do you know why it would fix it?
I have included some debugging output below.
Also - is this the right list to mail such problems
to?
Thanks.
Patrick
