ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid. PG Error

Question

I am trying to find a project from Project model using Project.find(id) but it is giving me ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid error

Full trace-

 PG::Error: ERROR: prepared statement "a1" already exists : SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_class c LEFT JOIN pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace WHERE c.relkind in ('v','r') AND c.relname = $1 AND n.nspname = ANY (current_schemas(false))

Line 5 of php_worker is

 project = Project.find(project_id)

What might be the issue? Could you shade some light on it. What might be the possible solution

Answer 1

all it needed was

 task "resque:setup" => :environment do
  #ENV['QUEUE'] = '*'

  Resque.before_fork = Proc.new { ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection }
 end

in your resque.rake file

Answer 2

It's a bug somewhere in your Ruby stack.

It's trying to prepare a statement called "a1" which is examining table/view definitions (presumably for your "project" table). It finds out a prepared statement with the same name already exists and spits out an error. The query it is trying to prepare is fine - it returns a count of how many tables have a given name.

Either it's not tracking its prepared statements properly or it thinks it's deleted one and hasn't really. I'd update rails & activerecord and check for bug reports.
