[GENERAL] Drop Index and Create Index
Hi, I would like recreate all indexes on a database, the command reindex is exclusive lock on table so I prefer the method drop index and create index. Is there a script for extract the command for the create index? I see pg_dump but it extract all object definitions. I see the source of pgAdmin for extract the definition of index, so before to begin to develop of a shell script for extract the definition of all indexes, I ask to you if this script already exist. Thanks a lot for help Giovanni -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

[GENERAL] Using ISpell dictionary - headaches...
Hi everybody.
Well... I have a problem when trying to install and use an ISpell
dictionary (the Thai one to be more precise) with the tsearch feature.
_What I am trying to do_
I have a table containing a title field, and I want to fill a vector
field with the following command:
*UPDATE thai_table SET vectors = to_tsvector('thai_utf8',
coalesce(title,''));*
_How I installed the Thai dictionary_
I installed the th_TH.dic and the th_TH.aff files (downloaded from
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries) in a
/usr/local/share/dicts/ispell/ folder, and I executed the following
commands:
SET search_path = public;
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO pg_ts_dict (dict_name, dict_init, dict_initoption,
dict_lexize, dict_comment)
VALUES (
'th_spell_utf8',
'spell_init(internal)',
'DictFile=/usr/local/share/dicts/ispell/th_TH.dic,AffFile=/usr/local/share/dicts/ispell/th_TH.aff',
'spell_lexize(internal,internal,integer)',
'Thai ISpell dict utf8 encoding'
);
INSERT INTO pg_ts_cfg (ts_name, prs_name, locale) VALUES ('thai_utf8',
'default', 'th_TH.utf8');
INSERT INTO pg_ts_cfgmap (ts_name, tok_alias, dict_name) VALUES
('thai_utf8', 'email', '{simple}');
INSERT INTO pg_ts_cfgmap (ts_name, tok_alias, dict_name) VALUES

INSERT INTO pg_ts_cfgmap (ts_name, tok_alias, dict_name) VALUES
('thai_utf8', 'lpart_hword', '{th_spell_utf8,simple}');
COMMIT;
_What my problem is_
The problem is that, when i execute the request to fill my vectors
field, psql crashes...
la connexion au serveur a été coupée à l'improviste
Le serveur s'est peut-être arrêté anormalement
avant ou durant le traitement de la requête.
La connexion au serveur a été perdue. Tentative de réinitialisation: Echec.
!
(it means: the connection with the server has been cut unexpectedly. The
server may have stop abnormaly before or during the request handling.
The connection with the server has been lost. Trying to
reinitialization: Failed)
I have no idea on what may cause that, nor what I could look for to find
idea on how to solve that.
It *may* be because I'm using psql 8.0.3 and not the latest version (but
I'm stucked with that version), i'm just hoping that one of you have met
similar problem and have successfully solved it, or maybe if you know a
site where an Ispell dictionary installation is detailed step by step so
that I can check if I did something wrong somewhere...

Re: [GENERAL] ER diagram software
I have done some research recently and found on acceptable: - DBdesigner4, which is depreceated and replaced by MySQL workbench. Is OSS, but no linux version yet. Also has clunky pgsql support - Aqua data studio (www.aquafold.com). It's java app which I am using for some time already. Originally it had dual license, free for non-commercial use, but after looking at the site they changed it to more restrictive licensing. ER diagrams are acceptable quallity (but far from perfect). Additionally its not cheap anymore :-( Regards, Bohdan On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 12:36:39PM +0200, Brandon Metcalf wrote: I've been able to find a couple of packages, but wondering if there is a good system out there what will create an ER diagram of an existing PostgreSQL DB.

I'm developing an ERP where I would like to implement a statistical program
where you can write your own SELECT queries.
Yes, it's easy to do with stored procedures. i.e.:
SELECT drop_table('important_table') FROM some_other_table;
This is managed with database permissions. Ensure that the user your
dynamic query engine is connecting as does not have permissions to
drop tables, or even delete rows from the tables (see the GRANT docs).
By doing so, you ensure that even if someone can create a dangerous
procedure and execute it via query, that they can't do any damage.

[GENERAL] Postgres 8.3.3 MSVC2005 (full edition)
Hello.
Have I an opportunity to get working dll using MSVC2005 (full edition) for
compilation at all?
I just tried to compile the following code. This is full text. Project options
are below in the letter.
-
#include postgres.h
#include fmgr.h
#include executor/executor.h
#include utils/timestamp.h
#include utils/builtins.h
#include utils/formatting.h
#define BUILDING_DLL 1
#ifdef PG_MODULE_MAGIC
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
#endif
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(add_one);
Datum
add_one(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
int32 arg = PG_GETARG_INT32(0);
PG_RETURN_INT32(arg + 1);
}
---
CREATE FUNCTION service.add_one() RETURNS integer
AS '$libdir/my_dll', 'pg_finfo_add_one'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
Result:
Query OK (0,11 sec)
Return Value: 32593236
Even if I do the following:
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(add_one);
Datum
add_one(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
PG_RETURN_INT32(10);
}
I get the same result - Return Value: 32593236
Have I forget some important option? Or I can't use the FULL version for
compilation at all - only express edition?
By the way - there is a directory 'D:\pgsql83\include\server\port\win32_msvc'.
But I can't use it instead of 'D:\pgsql83\include\server\port\win32' (should I
?) - there is an error due to lack of file 'netdb.h' and some others in this
directory.
Thanks in advance, Marina.

Subject: [GENERAL] C-procedure crashed in Postgres 8.3.3 when using 'text'
variable (WinXP) - additional
Hello.
I'm trying to create a C-procedure returning text variable - again :).
Postgres 8.3.3 (standard binaries - so built by means of MSVC), WinXP SP2.
I also use MSVC 2005 for compilation my library.
Configuration type - Dynamic Library (.dll)
Additional include directories -
D:\pgsql83\include;D:\pgsql83\include\server;D:\pgsql83\include\server\port\win32
Additional library directories - D:\pgsql83\lib
Additional dependencies - postgres.lib
Compile as C Code (/TC)
Detect 64-bit portability issues - No
So, here is the code:
--
include postgres.h
#include fmgr.h
#include executor/executor.h
#include utils/timestamp.h
#include utils/builtins.h
#include utils/formatting.h
#ifdef PG_MODULE_MAGIC
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
#endif
#define GET_TEXT(cstrp) DatumGetTextP(DirectFunctionCall1(textin,
CStringGetDatum(cstrp)))
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(getTimeFromApplication);
Datum
getTimeFromApplication(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
PG_RETURN_TEXT_P(GET_TEXT(success));
}
I can compile it and get the library, but there are some warnings:
1d:\pgsql83\getstring\c_getstring.c(10) : warning C4273: 'Pg_magic_func' :
inconsistent dll linkage
1d:\pgsql83\getstring\c_getstring.c(10) : see previous definition of
'Pg_magic_func'
1d:\pgsql83\getstring\c_getstring.c(24) : warning C4273:
'pg_finfo_getTimeFromApplication' : inconsistent dll linkage
1d:\pgsql83\getstring\c_getstring.c(24) : see previous definition of
'pg_finfo_getTimeFromApplication'
---
Then I put the library into 'lib' directory and create the stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION service.get_app_time () RETURNS text AS
'$libdir/getstring', 'pg_finfo_getTimeFromApplication'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
Then I try to run it:
select * from service.get_app_time ();
And get an error:
ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size 4294967293
What did I wrong?
Thanks in advance, Marina.

Sure, with sql-injection. There are a lot to read via google, for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection That's why on important databases you'd configure them set default_transaction_read_only to on and only reverse that connect by connect when a writable connection is truly needed. That way injectors will not only have to hijack *any* connection but pick the right one, too. It also nicely keeps average users from destroying their data with admin tools like pgadmin etc. And then there's role based per-table permissions, of course.

[GENERAL] Problems Restarting PostgreSQL Daemon
My server is rebooted infrequently, usually after a kernel upgrade and
on very rare occasions when something causes it to hang. After rebooting I
always have serious issues getting postgresql running again, even though the
startup script is part of the boot sequence. Yesterday was one of those
highly unusual hangs, and I cannot restart the service. I'd like to
understand why.
When I run the Slackware script, '/etc/rc.d/rc.postgresql start' (script
attached), I'm shown a process ID and told the daemon is already running.
For example:
Starting PostgreSQL
15342
PostgreSQL daemon already running
However, there is no process ID 15342, and no postgres running. I manually
removed /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 and its log file. Also -- apparently in error --
the .pid file. Makes no difference.
Perhaps there's an error in the script that I'm not seeing (I didn't write
it). Regardless, if I learn why there's a problem I can fix the script and
avoid this delay and hassle restarting postgres after the daemon's been shut
down.
TIA,
Rich

I'd imagine that it's looking at some other lockfile than you think. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Re: [GENERAL] Initdb problem on debian mips cobalt: Bus error
Did you actually give a bt command, or was that just the initial output from gdb? Yeah I used the bt command, which gave exactly the same output as the initial output. However you'll have to bear with me here, as I am new to gdb, so there is the possibility I'm just not doing things right at all.

[GENERAL] Substitute a variable in PL/PGSQL.
Hi,
I am trying to create a PL/PGSQL function to return the values of the
fields in a record, e.g. 1 value per row in the output of the function.
How do you substitute a variable?
Test case:
CREATE TABLE test(col1 text, col2 text, col3 text, col4 text, col5 text,
col6 text, col7 text, col8 text, col9 text, col10 text);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j');
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J');
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10');
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testfunc() RETURNS SETOF text AS $$
DECLARE
ted varchar;
bob RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR bob IN SELECT * FROM test LOOP
FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
ted := 'bob.col' || i;
RETURN NEXT ted;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
test= select * from testfunc();
testfunc
---
bob.col1
bob.col2
bob.col3
bob.col4
bob.col5
bob.col6
bob.col7
bob.col8
bob.col9
bob.col10
bob.col1
bob.col2
bob.col3
bob.col4
bob.col5
bob.col6
bob.col7
bob.col8
bob.col9
bob.col10
bob.col1
bob.col2
bob.col3
bob.col4
bob.col5
bob.col6
bob.col7
bob.col8
bob.col9
bob.col10
(30 rows)
test=
Or:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testfunc() RETURNS SETOF text AS $$
DECLARE
bob RECORD;
ted TEXT;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
ted := 'col' || i;
FOR bob IN SELECT ted FROM test LOOP
RETURN NEXT bob;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
test= select * from testfunc();
testfunc

el dorado wrote: Have I forget some important option? Or I can't use the FULL version for compilation at all - only express edition? They use the same compiler, and will produce compatible object code, so the full or express editions will be fine. By the way - there is a directory 'D:\pgsql83\include\server\port\win32_msvc'. But I can't use it instead of 'D:\pgsql83\include\server\port\win32' (should I ?) - there is an error due to lack of file 'netdb.h' and some others in this directory. That probably won't work well. IIRC it is necessary to put the win32_msvc directory first in the header search path, followed by the win32 directory. From memory I had to create a dummy header for libintl as well - it's not really needed for basic plugins, but is required for compilation of the Pg headers. That dummy header should be floating around in the mailing list archives. There were very similar issues discussed some months ago, so I strongly recommend that you search the archives. On a side note, personally I think the `port/win32' subdir should be renamed to `port/win32_mingw' and any truly shared files should be put in `port/win32' ... but that's just me. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

Re: [GENERAL] Full text index without accents
And which are the types of argument and returning values of a pl/sql
function which preprocess de text?
I have been searching that, for example, something like this works fine:
CREATE INDEX textindex ON document USING
gin(to_tsvector('english',upper(text)));
where text is the text column of document. But I have tried to do
something like:
CREATE INDEX textindex ON document USING
gin(to_tsvector('english',myfunction(text)));
where myfunction is a PL/SQL function which call upper one, but I didn't
find which are the types of the myfunction argument and returning value.
I am a PL/SQL novice and I didn't find how to do it yet. Of course, then
I will have to change upper experiment to my objective: to index without
accents. I don't know if PL/SQL is the better option to build such
function.
Thanks,
Mario Barcala
You can preprocess text (replace accent by nothing) before
to_tsvector or to_tsquery

The stack size rlimit looks normal, which makes a crash in this spot look even less probable. I think maybe you are looking at a stale corefile that doesn't quite correspond to this postgres executable. You are correct. I just checked and the core file was created on the 18th, that must be from the first attempt to run make check. I just assumed that the next time I attempted to run make check it'd be overwriting it, and that's obviously not the case.

What if something gets an invalid state (eg you expect a record to have
'active = 156' but it's something else).
So in some cases yes you'll need to do a rollback. On the other hand, if
you don't explicitly do a commit, everything is rolled back.
Yes begin == start transaction and commit == end transaction.
