Coming off of 7.4.3 I've always used
select count(*) from pg_stat_activity
through the ODBC driver to obtain the number of connections to the db. I've
found that with v8.0 Beta 1 that this at times has returned a value of 0
(when there is obviously still a connection). It's not repeatable, and
occurs sporadically. Does anyone have any reason as to why this would be
isolated to V8? Is this an acceptable means of obtaining the number of
connection to the database in V8 (via ODBC).
Thanks so much,
Peter
