Re: [ADMIN] failing to compile v. 9.0.1 on debian squeeze with readline
Hi! Sorry for the noise, it was mostly my bad, people told me i needed to have libreadline6-dev package installed, from there come among other things two links lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 6 09:57 /usr/lib/libhistory.so - /lib/libhistory.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 6 09:57 /usr/lib/libreadline.so - /lib/libreadline.so.6 And as a result the optreset and setproctitle parameters get set to 'no'. Although during apt-get build-dep postgresql-8.3 on lenny (v. 5.0) it installs libreadline5-dev but on squeeze (v. 6.0) neither of the -dev packages gets installed (need to lobby debian package managers on that!). Thanks for your replies!

It surely has got no business exporting either of those symbols. Could it be libreadline5 vs libreadline 6? Fedora has been shipping readline 6.1 for awhile, and I see no such misbehavior there. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin

[ADMIN] Certificate location under Windows 7
Hello Friends... Can anyone here make a definitive statement about a known working (default) location for certificates under Windows 7? We've had some trouble identifying where pqlib expects them... Many thanks in advance, Lou
[ADMIN] GSSAPI v9.01
Hi All, I'm getting an error when trying to log into a database with gss( 1st time trying, see command below ). My postgres user name is bob and my system name is also bob to log into the SLES 9 or SLES 11 box. Although the active directory name is b...@domain.comSo, I'm not using pg_ident (user name maps) . Do I need to configure --wtih-kerberos, see way below in my configure command below. Maybe, both kerberos and gssapi are needed for gssapi, see configure command below. Section 19.3.3 talks about include_realm, map and krb_realm but I'm not seeing those option in pg_hba. Is it referring to the krb5.conf file? Thanks for any help, ~DjK Version 9.01 psql -h server -U bob psql: GSSAPI continuation error: Unspecified GSS failure.

Re: [ADMIN] COPY statement for linux server from windows client

Is there any way of solving this on server side or I have to fight it in app's code? Hi, you have to use absolute path for COPY TO, is that any problem with that? regards Szymon

I must admit that i dont know that much about using computers to discuss it further whether it is bad or good thing that i need to install manually libreadline6-dev to compile from source.

Is this normal? Is it advisable to index pg_* tables? Do you vacuum the database regularly ? What are the number of rows in those tables ? It is possible that the planner is doing a sequential scan because the tables are small and that's faster than doing indexed reads. Greg Williamson
