Multiple DataReader per connection

[EvilShrike]

Do I understand correctly that subj isn't support?
So can't create several DataReader in parallel and read from them?
It seems it doesn't.
But anyway currently in such a case NullReferenceException happens which is bad I believe.

Code: Select all

            	var cmd1 = con.CreateCommand();
            	cmd1.CommandText = "select * from t1";
            	var cmd2 = con.CreateCommand();
            	cmd2.CommandText = "select * from t2";
            	DbCommand[] cmds = {cmd1, cmd2};
            	Console.WriteLine("Run parallel commands");
            	Parallel.ForEach(cmds, (cm) => {
            	    var tag = cm.CommandText + ":" ;
            	    Console.WriteLine(tag + "begin:" + System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
            	    using(var reader = cm.ExecuteReader())
            	    {
            	        Console.WriteLine(tag + "execute: " + System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);
            	        while(reader.Read())
            	        {
            	            Console.WriteLine(tag + "read");
            	            Console.WriteLine(tag + reader[0]);
            	        }
            	    }
            	    Console.WriteLine(tag + "done");
            	});
            	Console.WriteLine("done");

Unhandled Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.) ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

PgSqlConnection instance is not guaranteed to be thread safe. You should avoid using the same PgSqlConnection in several threads at the same time. It is recommended to open a new connection per thread and to close it when the work is done. Actually, connections will not be created/disposed every time with the Pooling=true; connection string option - connections will be stored at connection pool. This boosts performance greatly.

A single PgSqlConnection can be used by many PgSqlCommand objects on the assumption that all operations will be done consecutively. In other words, you can not execute a SQL statement while an asynchronous operation is in progress.
