How do folks handle the death of the postmaster in their applications?
Assuming the postmaster dies after an application has connected to the
database, but before it makes a request. What should I look for?
Currently our application that's in development does not handle the
situation well. What we want to do is gracefully (as possible)
shutdown the application.
you should provide a bit more information regarding your application...
is it C code, PHP, RUBY, etc. Each of these would have different
solutions. As already mentioned, some already have handling code that
throws errors. Others may require a bit more work on your part to
recognize and handle the situation.
