Subject: some libpq interface issues
Date: 17 Jan 2001 17:59:22 -0500
Message-ID: <871yu1yed1.fsf@piracy.red-bean.com> (raw)



We have two situations that have arisen while using libpq thru CMUCL
bindings in our UncommonSQL package.  We have a multi-processing
application which uses a pool of database connections to perform DB
queries.

The first one is that we are getting unexpected retun values from
pgresultstatus after calling pgexec, a value of PGRES_TUPLES_OK.  The
thing is that we're not sending a SELECT, just UPDATES, INSERTS and
DELETES.  My understanding is that none of those return tuples.

Here is the message our interface spits out.

;; Warning, database-execute-command: Recieved tuples ok in response
   to UPDATE WCO_ALLOCATION SET CANCELLED_TIME = '2001-01-12
   16:50:10+00',DELETED_AGENT_ID = 0,PICKUP = 'f',RETURN_AGENT_ID =
   7104,NON_EXPIRING = 'f',INSTRUCTIONS = '',BUILDING_PASSES =
   'NIL',ACCOMPANYING_PEOPLE = 'NIL',PICKUP_PEOPLE = 'NIL',COMMENTS =
   '',CREATED_TIME = '2001-01-12 16:50:50+00',REPEAT_RULE =
   'NIL',END_TIME = '2001-01-16 17:48:00+00',START_TIME = '2001-01-12
   16:50:50+00',AGENT_ID = 6761,CUSTOMER_ID = 3970,LOCATION_ID =
   4,ALLOCATION_TYPE = 'COMPLETED-CHECKOUT',ALLOCATION_ID = 34166
   WHERE WCO_ALLOCATION.ALLOCATION_ID = 34166

So, is it possible for an UPDATE to correctly return PGRES_TUPLES_OK,
or are we seeing some confusion in the backend or libpq due to load
and multi-processing?

Also, unrelated, I think, to the above issue, we are getting the
following message intermittently:

Backend message type 0x50 arrived while idle

I cannot find any more information about this message in the
documentation, so I don't know what type of message that is.
