Bug report #4469

Postgis connection lost forever on backend restart.

Description

Restarting the PostgreSQL server puts a QGis instance with PostGIS layers (bound to that specific server) into a silently failing state. That is all features disappear from the canvas at first reload w/out any notice of the problem.

PS: is it worth adding a "PostGIS Data Provider" category ? I have more to come...

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 13 years ago

  • Category changed from Data Provider to Data Provider/PostGIS

#2 Updated by Jürgen Fischer about 13 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

qgis now reconnects in case of failure (see b86243ed9f6be9766284bc2e8ea82e7d4c0fbb5e)

#3 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 13 years ago

I'm pretty sure I was using a later version.
Anyway, I'm rebuilding current master and will give it a try.

PS: would be helpful to have some kind of "Ready for test" status between Open and Closed.

Works fine here - although with 8.3, but I doubt that makes a difference.

My logs:

FATAL:  terminating connection due to administrator command
Warning: Field -1 not found.
Warning: Field -1 not found.

I have 4 layers, two on edge_data and two on node each of two postgis topologies.
The edge_data layers are styled (old stylization) with unique value edge_id.

Will try to reduce the number of layers.

#8 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 13 years ago

Same with a single layer (edge_data) and no styling.

#9 Updated by Regis Haubourg almost 13 years ago

With Qgis 1.8.0 8422a9d (16/11/2011 with osgeow), 2*postgres 9/ postgis 1.5 /1 pgpool2, when we stop one database, pgpool cut connections and recreate them. Qgis throws a first error message and then displays data correctly.

Proble solved for us. Thanks guys

it seems to me that is either not confirmed or fixed, can you check?

#11 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 13 years ago

A simple test with b6852f1 still shows the problem of things disappearing on backend restart.
Test:
- Open qgis
- Select a simple layer
- Zoom so you see where things are
- /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
- Pan a little bit to force redraw

Can't see the vectors anymore here...

Maybe this is helpful:

Then I cannot confirm the problem here

#13 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 13 years ago

  • Target version set to Version 1.7.4

#14 Updated by Jürgen Fischer almost 13 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version set to master
  • Crashes QGIS or corrupts data set to No

please verify that the problem still exists in master.

#15 Updated by Sandro Santilli almost 13 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version changed from master to 1.7.3

While trying in master I got another 2 different issues. First was a zero-length identifier for an "Identify" query, the secodn was a crash on backend restart.

This ticket is specifically for 1.7 though, not master. Can it be fixed in there ?

#16 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 12 years ago

  • Target version changed from Version 1.7.4 to Version 1.8.0

#17 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 12 years ago

  • Target version changed from Version 1.8.0 to Version 2.0.0

#18 Updated by Sandro Santilli about 12 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

I tried 1.8.0 and it works fine. Also master works fine.
