idle in transaction

От

Дата:

I use postgres 8.1.2 database and postgres 8.1.404 jdbc driver .

 

I keep seeing “idle in transaction” connections on the postgres box all the time. The application logic closes all connections , so it makes me wonder if the driver is issuing a begin statement after every commit to leave a floating transaction open.

 

This is causing autovacuum to not finish (and hence I have to frequently issue database-wide vacuums to prevent the transaction id wraparound problem)

 

Any help here is appreciated

 

Thanks

Current driver versions (and 8.1.404 is current enough) should not show
this behaviour any more, which was annoying in older drivers.

Are you shure that you have the correct driver version? We occasionally
get reports from users thinking they run a certain driver version, but
they accidentally have another driver earlier in the class search path.
Especially the $JRE/lib/ext directory is dangerous, people tend to drop
.jars there and then forget them.

Another possibility is that you use a broken connection pooling that
fails to reset the connections properly. Could you modify your
application logic to set all connections to autocommit mode before
closing / returning them to the pool?

HTH,
Markus

I use only the postgres 8.1.404 driver(checked that no other drivers
were in the classpath)

I also set autocommit to true before I close the connection. I use jboss
to get the datasource

The autocommit change does not change the behaviour. I still see idle in
transaction.

Hi

 

I use JBOSS 4.0.3 to manage my connection pooling. Is there a way to configure / modify code to take care of this

 

Thanks for your input

The latest DODS dont have this issue anymore. You just use "RollbackOnReset" option.

Hi.<br /> In a more generic way, you need to garantee 2 things:<br /> 1) You always release your connections back to
thepool.<br /> 2) Any connection released must not have a valid transaction with resources allocated.<br /><br /> Its
okto have a connection in the pool with setautocommit(false), that leads to "idle in connection", if the transaction is
anew one and no resources or lock have been made at the db.<br /><br /> If you want now what is blocking your vaccum
trythis:<br /><br /> SELECT pg_class.relname AS table, pg_database.datname AS database, transaction, pid, mode, granted
FROMpg_locks, pg_class, pg_database WHERE pg_locks.relation = pg_class.oid AND pg_locks.database = pg_database.oid
orderby pg_class.relname, pid;<br /><br /> You will see in wich table the vaccum is waiting to acquire the lock and
wichprocess is holding it at the moment.<br /><br /> Best regards.<br /> João Paulo Ribeiro<br /><br /> Sriram
