NOTICE:&nbsp; Message from PostgreSQL backend:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Postmaster has informed me that some other backend<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; died abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have rolled back the current transaction and am<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; going to terminate your database system connection and exit.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Please reconnect to the database system and repeat your query.<br>
server closed the connection unexpectedly<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This probably means the server terminated abnormally<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; before or while processing the request.<br>
connection to server was lost<br>
</tt></big><br>
I get more or less frequently.<br>
<br>
what to do?<br>
<br>
regards fredrik chabot<br>
