Don't know... All my web-apps semm to have *one* line each in "ps" which sa=
ys=20
"dbuser dbname 127.0.0.1 idle in transaction". Those are java-web-apps whic=
h=20
get their connections from a connection-pool(Apache-Commons ConnectionPool)=
,=20
but there is exactly *one* line pr. web-app which has the "idle in=20
transaction" line, even tho they have many connections open each.

Any hints on how I can find out what's keeping the connection idle in a=20
transaction? I realize now that I should probably ask that question on the=
=20
pgsql-jdbc-list:-)

But thanks a lot for helping me finding the problem, appreciate it!
