Broken Connections

Detailed description
Here we go once again, The problems I described in an older help forum post entitled "Broken Connections (fixed test)" and the patch discussion in "Experimental Patch of Doom", are still there although it got better with jon hanna's patch (beta3) and some bugfixes in beta4. Although better, I'm still not confident enough to ship Npgsql beta 4 with our software. For some users who tested postgresql support this resulted in the following comments: - "I have strange delays!" (because of hanging queries) - "I get no data!" (because of exceptions in npgsql) In the meantime I've rewritten my testcase program, which I am happy to include as an attachement. Its quite complex now. It runs database queries with thread concurrency, calling Thread.Abort() randomly. Parameters can be adjusted in the static Program class. You need to adjust at least "Connection" and "Query". Also adjust Abort Times to your Database speed and Query record count, for throwing aborts most randomly. Please use a query that returns a lot of records (50000+). Strange behaviour I encountered in the test: - Queries hanging, not returning any results. - Stream seeking not supported exception. - Unrecognised response type exception. - Remote host closed connection exception. - Before pressing Enter to exit the program running "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity" shows lots of stale connections. I think these problems should all be addressed before releasing any 2.0 final version. And it should have higher priority than any new features or wizards for VS. Thanks again for doing a great job, Andreas BTW: PG 8.3 on Vista (local), .Net 2.0 on Vista, Npgsql 2.0 beta4
