I think I figured out what went wrong.
regression.diffs is created by compareing src/test/regress/expect/name.out with src/test/regress/results/name.out. Since expected/name.out comes with the jar, so any changes I made won't be reflected in the that file. Now the question is, is there a way to update the expected/*out files ?? thanks, kathy > X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2003 16:10:15 -0600 (MDT) > From: Kathy Zhu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [GENERAL] change NAMEDATALEN to 64 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at postgresql.org > > Hi, > > We have tables with long names so I modified postgres_ext.h and change > NAMEDATALEN to 64 (originally is 32). > > When I do "gmake check", I failed the test on "name", see below. > > parallel group (13 tests): float8 boolean float4 oid int4 int8 char int2 name t > ext varchar bit numeric > boolean ... ok > char ... ok > name ...
