I am getting this error intermittently in my code. Sometimes it happens time-after-time-after-time. Sometimes it happens 1-out-of-10 times. I am not doing anything unique or special in my SQL unlike the other poster on StackOverflow who was doing a COPY command. All I am doing is SELECTs.
Here is the stack trace:

Any suggestions on how to avoid this error? Is this a problem with Npgsql and postgres?
Here is my SQL Statement that seems to be the most problematic:
select leg1.trade_date, sum(p.qty) as totalqty, max(gas.net_change)*10000 as avggaschange,
sum(((leg1.settlement_price - leg2.settlement_price) - (leg3.settlement_price - leg4.settlement_price))*qty*1000000) as spread_value_weight
from quant_portfolio p
inner join (select distinct trade_date, hub, product, strip, settlement_price, net_change
from public.icecleared_gas where contract = 'H') leg1
on p.leg1 = leg1.strip
inner join (select distinct trade_date, hub, product, strip, settlement_price, net_change
from public.icecleared_gas where contract = 'H') leg2
on p.leg2 = leg2.strip and leg1.trade_date = leg2.trade_date
inner join (select distinct trade_date, hub, product, strip, settlement_price, net_change
from public.icecleared_gas where contract = 'H') leg3
on p.leg3 = leg3.strip and leg1.trade_date = leg3.trade_date
inner join (select distinct trade_date, hub, product, strip, settlement_price, net_change
from public.icecleared_gas where contract = 'H') leg4
on p.leg4 = leg4.strip and leg1.trade_date = leg4.trade_date
inner join (select distinct trade_date, hub, product, strip, contract, settlement_price, net_change
from public.icecleared_gas where contract = 'H') gas
on gas.strip = (select min(leg1) from quant_portfolio where commodity = 'NG') and gas.trade_date = leg1.trade_date
where p.commodity = 'NG'
AND (leg1.trade_date>='xxx' and leg1.trade_date<='yyy')
group by leg1.trade_date
order by leg1.trade_date
I tried re-arranging the SQL to take out the sub-SELECTS and make them all joins; didn't help, same error.
Here is the C# code calling Npgsql:
query = new NpgsqlCommand(getFullQuantPortBeta.ToString().Replace("xxx", beginResult.ToString()).Replace("yyy", endResult.ToString()), conn);
dr = query.ExecuteReader();//code does not get past this line!
beta = 0;
while (dr.Read())
{
baselineData.Add(double.Parse(dr[2].ToString()));
responseData.Add(double.Parse(dr[3].ToString()));
if (baselineData.Count > 3)
{
Tuple<double, double> result = MathNet.Numerics.LinearRegression.SimpleRegression.Fit(baselineData.ToArray(), responseData.ToArray());
beta = result.Item2 * BETA_MULT;
Console.WriteLine("WEIGHT BETA = " + beta);
}
}
dr.Close();
conn = new NpgsqlConnection("Server=myserver;
User Id=postgres;
Password=somepw;
Database=somedb;
Pooling=false;
Timeout=300;
CommandTimeout=300");
I added the CommandTimeout
property to my connection string and it seems to be working now. Weird exception for a timeout error...
Please try the setting
KeepAlive = 300
The number of seconds of connection inactivity before Npgsql sends a keepalive query. Set to 0 (the default) to disable.
