[GENERAL] Triggers question
Hi All!I want to setup a trigger capable to return more than one record.Example (table users contains 10 records):CREATE FUNCTION get_users() RETURNS SOME_TYPE AS 'BEGIN return (SELECT * FROM users);' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';I can't figure out the correct Postgres type for SOME_TYPE (see above example).How can I write such trigger? I mean, what is the correct prototype of this trigger function?Thanks in advance/ycrux

Your example doesn't show anything related to triggers so I think you mean "function" instead of "trigger."

This example's return type would be "SETOF users". This particular function would be simpler in SQL than in PL/pgSQL: CREATE FUNCTION get_users() RETURNS SETOF users AS ' SELECT * FROM users; ' LANGUAGE sql STABLE; Here's the PL/pgSQL version: CREATE FUNCTION get_users() RETURNS SETOF users AS ' DECLARE row users%ROWTYPE; BEGIN FOR row IN SELECT * FROM users LOOP RETURN NEXT row; END LOOP; RETURN; END; ' LANGUAGE plpgsql STABLE; You'd call the function as: SELECT * FROM get_users(); For more information see "SQL Functions Returning Sets" (for SQL) and "Control Structures" (for PL/pgSQL) in the documentation.

Re: [GENERAL] Size comparison between a Composite type and an
I made some tests with three different types:
numeric, text and a specialized type written in c.
The tests were made with 20 digit codes.
The specialized type was a struct defined as:
typdef struct mycode {
char c1;
char c2;
int32 c3;
int32 c4;
} mycode
The sizeof(mycode) returns 12 bytes so i assume this as storage size of
mycode type.
The mycode type was created with the following sql command:
CREATE TYPE mycode (
internallength = 12,
input = mycode_in,
output = mycode_out,
alignment = int
);
The text data type has a storage size of 20 bytes + 4 bytes overhead =
24 bytes.
The numeric data type has a storage size of 10 bytes + 8 bytes overhead
= 18 bytes.
I made three tables of one column using the three different data types
and checked the size in bytes of the three tables.
The results were not as expected.
I was expecting these theoretical results:
mycode: 1.000.000 of records => 12.000.000 bytes
numeric: 1.000.000 of records => 18.000.000 bytes
text: 1.000.000 of records => 24.000.000 bytes
That is the final size of the table with the text data type to be the
double of mycode type.
The real results were:
mycode: 1.000.000 of records => 65.159.168 bytes
numeric: 1.000.000 of records => 74.895.702 bytes
text: 1.000.000 of records => 77.340.672 bytes
The "text" table is only 16% larger than mycode one (I was expecting 100%!).
Any idea?
Thank you,
Denis

[GENERAL] a web framework for postgresql?
Hi, Most of the web applications I work on are nothing more than front-ends to postgresql. I have used Perl (CGI), Java, C# and am now looking at Django. Each generation of frameworks lessens the pain of donig web-apps, but it still seems redundant. Does any one know of a framework where the database server (or a web/app server integrated with a DB server) serves web pages? The database contains the data-model; names of tables, names of attributes, their types, foreign key relationships among tables...that's A LOT of information. Sql query, views or stored procs could serve as 'reports' served off the data. Perhaps the only thing that needs to be outside a database is something that describes how the data is to be displayed (CSS). There could be some java/c#/python/ruby/whatever engine which takes all the information provided in the database and generate html/xhtml, default css, javascript validation, etcbut all that should be invisible to the user.

Hmm. No. I don't think you can have this combined with what is often
called "business logic". A lot of stuff is described in the db model,
but that's only one thing.
What about process flows, permissions, login handling, session
handling, design, performance optimization and so on?
I use WebObjects (http://www.apple.com/webobjects) as my main
development environment and I found that every application is unique
in a good percentage of its features.
For "administration" application the included DirectToWeb-Framwork in
combination with a powerful community based framework
("ProjectWonder") is a VERY powerful tool when it comes to rapid
development. It saves me days and weeks of work - I just couldn't do
my job anymore without it and developing applications in a "standard
way". But it has a very steep learning curve and is sometimes hard to
handle and often frustration - until you learn how not to fight the
tool.
Frontend applications like online shops, portals and so on are then
developed in a more conventional way with components and handwritten
xhtml/css.
If you have a Mac for development it's worth a look. Deployment can
go anywhere (in theory - we have only used Linux and Mac OS X Server
so far) as long as a Java runtime is installed.

I don't know of one - I think I'd be a little uneasy with that kind of model to be honest on several levels. Complex web applications involve a lot of complex logic, which tends to be very processor intensive. It's good to be able to scale such sites by adding more processing engines and so partitioning the logic from the database is a good idea. We use (and wrote) Whitebeam which goes some of the way to providing a framework. It cuts down the amount of database knowledge you need by having a defined schema that represents data in a very flexible way (although you are free to develop SQL level applications if you want to). Whitebeam uses Postgres to model arbitrary things and the relationships between those things. The things can be CMS web pages or product catalogues. JavaScript (server side) is then used to add the semantic meaning to those things for each application. The Whitebeam abstraction is higher than SQL (for example it represents arbitrarily deep directories of information and provides mechanisms for searching those) while at the same time being flexible enough to allow a wide range of data-driven applications (CMS, discussion forums, surveys, document repositories etc). The programme files that drive the application are still stored in the standard file system. You could store those in the database as well if you wanted to but you'd be adding more contention for a central resource. To get the best performance you have to have a pragmatic approach to building your system. Most applications also of course have to use other services such as sendmail, spell checkers, image tools. The datbase is only one part of the solution, although admittedly one you have to get right!

[GENERAL] SELinux strangeness with 8.1.2 and 8.1.3
Hi, I know this isn't directly a postgres issue, but it might help a few other users, so here goes. I did an upgrade on my Fedora Core 4 system, and postgres (8.1.2 from the postgres packages, not FC packages) stopped working because of permission issues when trying to create postmaster.pid in the /var/lib/pgsql/data directory. My system has SELinux active, and it used to work until now. So I upgraded using the latest 8.1.3 release (I built it from SRPMs as an x86_64 binary wasn't available), hoping it will help. It didn't. I researched it a bit, and tried a few things, and discovered that the problem is in the init script at /etc/init.d/postgres users runuser instead of su on SELinux enabled systems. But for some reason it won't work this way. I manually reveted it to use su and it works fine. It anyone knows of a better fix - please let me know.

Re: [GENERAL] a web framework for postgresql?
Pete, I agree with you about websites containing lots of complex logic. It is an interesting excercise to extract out this logic from the day to day business of web app development. In any case, as I think more about various if/else claues or business specific computations, I get even more convinced that either many of our daily routines can be abstracted away, or partitioned (I guess the way the MVC model keeps people like me from putting everything together in a complex mess). It is interesting that much of the software packages specifically marketed for 'business logic' (various rules engines) are, at their most fundamental, not very different from relational DBs. I am also fairly certain that whole programming languages (their semantics and their syntax) can be defined within relational DBs. So why not attempt to use databases as more than just data stores? P.S. I actually don't think the kind of framework I am looking for exists (oracle has html db, but I haven't been able to study it yet). And I should add that I realize theoretical Relational Dbs are different from modern implementations, but we still have a base to work on. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

[GENERAL] Going crazy comparing bytea columns
Hi,
I am new to Postgresql, so pls be patient.
I am using npgsql with C# to insert a bytea value into a
column which will serve as an encrypted password. This works
well. However, when I retrieve the value, it is different.
In other words, "select pwd from table where pwd like @pwd"
does not work.
Is it not possible to compare bytea columns?
...get dbConn...
NpgsqlCommand cmd = new NpgsqlCommand("select pwd from table
where usr = @usr and pwd like @pwd",dbConn);
cmd.Parameters.Add(new NpgsqlParameter("usr",DbType.String);
cmd.Parameters.Add(new
NpgsqlParameter("pwd",NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType.Bytea);
cmd.prepare()
... set param values, call executereader...

ISTM that LIKE opens up a whole can of worms with possible appearance of the wildcards (% and _, not to mention \) in the string.

Different how? Without knowing more I'd wonder it's a matter of
escaped vs. non-escaped bytea values.

I can't help with npgsql but it's certainly possible to compare
bytea columns. Incidentally, I don't know if this could be causing
any problems, but why are you using LIKE instead of "="?
> NpgsqlCommand cmd = new NpgsqlCommand("select pwd from table

What's the output of the following query?
SELECT pwd, @pwd FROM table WHERE usr = @usr
That should return the value in the database (pwd) and the value
you're providing (@pwd). Let's see how they differ.

[GENERAL] Need a GNU SQL CLI tool for Win32 with ODBC support.
I love Linux, any tool you need it has it. Just try to find the most basic of tools for Windows, what a joke. I need an Open Source SQL command line tool for Windows that will let me script queries to a database over an ODBC connection. It must use ODBC because it may or may not be PostgreSQL. Some times it will but the rest of the time I have no idea what is on the other end. Most crap I am finding is shareware and everything is GUI.

PostgreSQL functions are executed in the context of an outer transaction so they can't issue COMMIT or ROLLBACK statements. However, in 8.0 and later, several languages (e.g., PL/pgSQL) support error trapping, effectively providing savepoint and rollback to savepoint capability. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING One way around this restriction would be for the function to use dblink to make another connection to the database; the server-side function then becomes a database client. The function could execute transaction-starting and -ending commands over that connection. -- Michael Fuhr ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

[GENERAL] Temporary data storage in PL/PGSQL functions
I have PL/PGSQL functions that require temporary tables for storing intermediate query output. I used to create a temporary table with a unique name in each function call, but that led to "out of shared memory" errors and bloating of system catalogs, because temp tables are only actually dropped at the end of a transaction, as Tom pointed out. So I tried creating non-temporary tables specifically for use in functions, but the result was that concurrency was not possible as each transaction using the function would retain a lock on the table. I then considered creating temporary tables once per session or transaction. Considering that a connection pool might be used, I had to make my temp tables "ON COMMIT DROP". I still have the following worries: - not very friendly (must call a 'init' function at beginning of each transaction) - must wrap all queries in EXECUTE statements - ON COMMIT DROP may not be portable to other DBMS (not too important here) - may also lead to system catalog bloating over time. Overall I find it rather troublesome to use temporary storage tables in functions. Maybe I am missing something. Any tips? ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

If your up to doing experimentation, you could see about combining one of the
pl langs and tie them into one of the various web application frameworks. I'm
thinking you could try making plruby functions that use rails, or possibly
rigg something up in plpython with django or turbogears. It's all very
handwavy, but since you can use gems inside of plruby, who knows... you'd
have to figure out how to actually server web requests back and forth from
within the db... really it doesnt seem worth it to me, but you might be able
to get something together.

Re: [GENERAL] SELinux strangeness with 8.1.2 and 8.1.3
Hi Tom, I looked into another system I have and after updating FC4 to the latest and installing the latest from the PGDG srpms, I didn't have this problem. Tomorrow I'm going to do a similar test on another server that I have to install Postgres on. I will report back with what I find on it. But on this machine the change to su solved the issue. Some more clues that might help you see if there's a real problem, is that the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid file is created with the a SELinux context that's different from the rest. It is created with system_u:object_r:file_t while the rest of the files are created with root:object_r:postgresql_db_t. And the postmaster (when using runuser) fails on accessing it according to the audit log. The file is created but it's empty. So the failure is when trying to write the pid and the rest of the info to it. When I run with su, it is be able to access it just fine. I retested now just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Some more info about the system: * FC4 fully updated * Postgres 8.1.3 built from the PGDG SRPMs * Dual Opteron * 4GB RAM * /var/lib/pgsql/data on a RAID10 with xfs on top * WAL on a different RAID on a partition only for itself with ext2 * SELinux in targeted policy mode Bye, Guy.
