I wish we hear that more often.
There has been a spate of unsubscribe messages to the list and I believe
not all of them were ignorant of the way they can unsubscribe.
Probably the List Admins need to be less gentle ( or was it unconcern )

RE: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle

2003-10-10 Thread Tarun Upadhyay
Gupreet,
It is a real application. It's an OLTP appliaction for banking and
credit card industry. From a concurrency point of view, I expect about 200
connections to the database in the worst case and a fifth of that on the
average.
however, if postgres cannot handle that kind of user connections;
that is fine too. I just need to know the number it can handle and then I
will find a way of dividing the data over 2 or more servers such that each
gets lesser load.

A little off-topic, but
A little research on the web mentions that Postgres Query optimizer
is weak and in general one should optimize the queries by hand (we have to
do the same for oracle anyway. For that kind of database size, I do not
trust the query optimizer any way). Is that true?

Hi Tarun,
  I think you are trying to compare a Apple with a Water Melon.
But any case if you are really facing a real time scenario, please make it
clear. what exactly the application you are running and how many concurrent
user you are expecting to be there as concurrency is a major factor which
can cause ample amount of problems for the DBA. I make sure that I would be
able to solve all your queries. Regards, Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva

We have a customer application on oracle.

They want to crate a "small footprint" version of it to be sold at a
cheaper
price.

I want to suggest that Postgres could be the right choice of
database for
that as it is close to oracle in its sql syntax and hence porting
should be
simpler.

Can anybody guide me on what kind of pitfalls we could run into by
choosing
Postgres. The database is not very large but is much larger than
what goes
for "database" in mysql discussions (about 1 GB of data, 100 tables
with
about 10-50 MB added every day)?

In particular, I would be interested in hearing from people who have
run
moderately large databases on postgres and how fast they found it.

I have heard that it is possible to now provide replication and fail
over
with postgres. Has anybody tried it?

This must be one of the most popular questions, but much as I search on

Ummm..RTFM?

http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.29

A few words of caution:

-> As I see it, this a problem of multidrop combined with multi-rcpt. 
You might have to put the procmail file for each account that has multidrop.

-> There is a typo on the sendmail.org page. The following on the page:

formail -i "X-Envelope-To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Should read:

formail -i "X-Envelope-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Notice the quote *after* the $ENV_TO$DOMAIN.

-> This causes sendmail to make multiple copies of the message as you 
want. Since they are identical copies, except the X-Envelope-To header, 
any message identification headers are also recplicated...e.g. 
Message-Id. Depending on the mail usage you have, this might cause problems.

-> The solution works on my sendmail server - your mileage may vary.

Hope that helps.

Note: Not deleting the original text below for the sake of reference.

Situation: I have a sendmail based mailserver for our domain somewhere
remote which also doubles up as our smarthost. I have a catchall account
for my domain which I am then downloading using fetchmail in multidrop
mode. The local server is exim.
Problem: When the same mail is sent to multiple recipients of my domain,
the process of communication between the sending MTA and my mail server
is totally dependent on the sending MTA.
If the sending MTA is qmail, multiple SMTP conenctions are made for
every recipient of the mail - this is sacrilegious to many mailadmins,
but thankfully it preserves the envelope recipient and so my sendmail
(with a minor header rule) dutifully writes in a delivered-to header.
If it is any other MTA, then to conserve bandwidth/processing they send
the mail in a single smtp connection with multiple rcpt. This causes
sendmail to avoid writing the delivered-to header because multiple
recipients were specified. Fetchmail downloads the mail and tries to
send it to the first one in the To: header. Not only is anybody else in
the To: list excluded from a copy, but if the first address is not that
of a local domain then it bounces.
I have configured exim to send mails one at a time to our
mailhost(max_rcpt=1). So atleast our mails deliver properly.
But my question is that is there a way to cajole/coerce sendmail to make
multiple copies of the mail locally (according to the envelope
recipient) therefore keeping envelope information intact before
delivering them?

I don't think that any ISP will unblock yahoo groups for you. What you can
do, and what most people seem to be doing is to find a open proxy server and
use that for your web surfing. You would be able to access yahoo groups
using almost any proxy server located outside india.

2003-10-10 Thread supreet
Hi, 
I wanted to check out, bang linux discussion group/mailing list on
yahoogroups and found out to my utter surprise, that I am not able to
view it. After some googling, i saw posts on india-gii about the issue.
I want to know from dear group memebers, if i could ask my ISP (mtnl in
this case) to unblock the site or something.

Comments!

IMHO the users who use such a stupid copy protection system deserve what
they get. They clearly bought into marketing hype and definitely didn't
verify properly if the claims are valid. It also looks like that this system
won't work with newer versions of windows or on windows machines where the
user is logged on using a plain user account under windows nt based os.
