voip=> select * from billing;
Backend message type 0x44 arrived while idle
Backend message type 0x44 arrived while idle
We have lost the connection to the backend, so further processing is
impossible. Terminating.

select vendor_ip, sum(duration) as sumdur from billing where( call_type = 'E'
and (stime >= 935092800 AND stime < 935179200)) group by vendor_ip;
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
