[Dovecot] Postgres "issue"

[Maikel Verheijen]

Ok: a little lame to answer my own question, but I created a CRUDE patch.
 
It does NOT check why a connection failed, it just does a PQreset, and it
SEEMS to work.
 
 
Kind regards,
 
Maikel Verheijen.
 
Ps: Timo, can something with reconnect be implemented permanently?

Dear list, 


I have a small issue with dovecot talking to a postgresql server: 

If my postgres server get restarted, dovecot fails to reconnect to the
postgres server. 

I run dovecot 0.99.9.1 (which is actually a cvs version of dovecot, of may 9
2003) 

I have the same postgres version for the server as I use for the libraries. 

Is it hard to get auto-reconnect to work? 


Kind regards, 


Maikel Verheijen 


Ps: the log message I get is this: 

May 22 17:33:01 testlfw3 dovecot-auth: PGSQL: Query "SELECT password FROM
aliases WHERE alias = 'maikel at test.com' AND password != ''" failed: FATAL 1:
This connection has been terminated by the administrator. server closed the
connection unexpectedly ^IThis probably means the server terminated
abnormally ^Ibefore or while processing the request. 

Which probably describes it all :)
