1. Strange message in logs..

   Mitch Vincent <mitch@venux.net> — 2000-06-08T12:09:23Z

   I'm getting a lot of 
   
   pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
   
   ... in my postgres.log file (PostgreSQL 7.0.0), is this to be expected?

   My Windows application (via ODBC) does the same result on shutting the
   connection. I find this as a normal behaviour.

   It is if you are using client apps that don't bother to close the
   connection cleanly (ie, first sending an 'X' message) when they quit.
   
   It appears that our ODBC driver doesn't send 'X' during connection
   close, which I would call a (minor) bug in the ODBC driver.  Of course
   the problem would appear anyway if the client app is in the habit of
   exiting without telling the interface library to shut down first.
   
   The backend doesn't particularly care; it'll close up shop the same
   way with or without 'X'.
