Attempting to execute query, but connection is not open

[wfe8006]

So I create a master postgres connection that handles each http request. But for some reason I get connection is not open error from time to time and I have to restart my dart script manually. Any idea why?

PostgreSQLSeverity.error : Attempting to execute query, but connection is not open.

Connections may get closed by various reasons:

• The server may close it (depending on this setting).
• A network proxy could close it, or a network failure happens.
• The client OS may close it on inactivity.

It is generally best to use a connection pool that opens connections when needed, reuses them (with optional testing), and after a configurable connection use they close them and open a new one. If you are using package:aqueduct, you get something like that as part of the framework, or you could use package:postgres_pool to have a configurable pool.

I had never faced this issue when I was with LEPP stack till I migrated the backend to Dart. (Dart and DB sit on the same server) I will check out the tips, thanks.

There isn't much Dart-specific here, I would assume that your PHP stack re-connected to the server on each request, or it may have had its own connection pooling.
