RE: [GENERAL] Queries across multiple databases (was: SELECT from a table in another database).
Oracle financials has about 2000 tables in a single database :> but of course that must not be designed using structured design techniques. -- Ian Willis -Original Message- From: Tom Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 19 May 2001 12:45 AM To: Trygve Falch Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Queries across multiple databases (was: SELECT from a table in another database).

[GENERAL] Compiling for Caldera on 2nd Drive
Tom I have downloaded postgres V. 7.1.1 and run gunzip and tar on the file before I run config I need direction.. I noticed less space on /dev/sda3 then on /dev/sdb/2.. So, I have decided on an install on /dev/sdb2 which I mount on boot through mtab to /mnt/sdb2 It looks like... Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 2974519 2418544402155 86% / /dev/sdb2 979482239885688993 26% /mnt/sdb2 So my ./configure line will appear as... @$ ./configure --prefix=/mnt/sdb2 --with-perl --with-python --with-tcl --enable-odbc --with-java Does the above look correct ?? Following Questons from Install Man.. To utilize shared libraries I assume I will have to do nothing more per 1.6.1. Shared Libraries "as the sections states unecessary for Linux." ** TRUE or FALSE Further 1.6.2. Environment Variables Per this section set a path for all users in /etc/profile, in my case PATH=$PATH:/mnt/sdb2/usr/local/pgsql/bin:/All/Other/Dirs and MANPATH=$MANPATH:/mnt/sdb2/usr/local/pgsql/man ** TRUE or FALSE DID I Miss anything ... Nothing is worst than an install that doesn't run.. Well almost anything.. ; > ) Thank You Bob T " Swithching from DB2 (0 (0 are They watching !"

It's probably not a good idea to use packages from unstable if you want to keep the rest of your system stable. The unstable packages will certainly pull in a lot of other unstable packages through dependencies, including some major ones like libc6. potato packages are at http://people.debian.org/~elphick/postgresql/potato.html though they are not as up-to-date as the unstable distribution; I do them when I have time. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

I'm using the one that comes with the 7.1 RPM, (from Lamar Owen) which redirects stderr to /dev/null. su -l postgres -c "LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start >/dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null I guess I should stop that from happening and see what messages come out.
