[GENERAL] The easiest and robust way of configuring password pass through mechanism..
Hi, I am aware of now almost all the authentication mechanisms that PostGreSQL supports. My basic requirement is to don't ask for password (allowed users in pg_hba file) when user connects to the server. What could be the easiest and robust method to configure this? I am looking for passing through the password so that users need not to enter it everytime they connects. Thanks, Dipti
[GENERAL] tuning bgwriter in 8.4.2
We recently upgraded to 8.4.2 and I'm trying to make sure our bgwriter is working as well as it can. Based on: # select * from pg_stat_bgwriter ; checkpoints_timed | checkpoints_req | buffers_checkpoint | buffers_clean | maxwritten_clean | buffers_backend | buffers_alloc ---+-++---+--+-+--- 804 | 2 | 39171885 | 22562 | 211 |24759656 | 4488627 (1 row) ...I'm not sure that it is, because as I understand things, assuming I don't keep updating the same pages then buffers_backend should be a small percentage of buffers_alloc, and buffers_clean should be larger than it is compared to buffers_checkpoint. Is my understanding correct? My checkpoints are spread exactly 5 minutes apart, and a typical checkpoint log entry looks like: checkpoint complete: wrote 48289 buffers (3.7%); 0 transaction log file(s) added, 0 removed, 14 recycled; write=149.872 s, sync=0.378 s, total=150.256 s The only bgwriter tunable we've adjusted so far is bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 500, though we've also set checkpoint_segments = 768 (not that we need it that high, but we have the space on the wal volume.)
[GENERAL] Kerberos library update
Hi I'm trying to find out when a version of PostgreSQL will be available that includes the Kerberos library (krb5_32.dll) version 1.6.4. Is Postgres currently being tested with version 1.6.4 of the Kerberos library? I couldn't find this information anywhere.

I should have added that those 211 maxwritten_clean entries came about before we set bgwriter_lru_maxpages to 500. And the 2 requested checkpoints came with the initial slony load.

From the list I already sent, I'm certain this one allows triggers: http://www.a2hosting.com/database/postgresql-hosting I can also setup such an account for you, but I can't beat their price of $5.72 a month :) On Feb 14, 2010, at 10:44 AM, Andre Lopes wrote: Hi, I have sign an account with HostNine.com, but PostgreSQL version is 8.1 and don't allow triggers...

Re: [GENERAL] Hosting Account with PostgreSQL and PHP?
Yeah, I was just going to recommend them; I went through the exact same thing a few months ago and got the same advice. HostNine looks great, but an [very] out of date Postgres isn't very helpful. I've enjoyed A2 since I signed up, and it doesn't hurt that they're relatively local (30 miles away) for me to boot! :) Raymond On 02/14/2010 07:11 PM, John DeSoi wrote: From the list I already sent, I'm certain this one allows triggers: http://www.a2hosting.com/database/postgresql-hosting I can also setup such an account for you, but I can't beat their price of $5.72 a month :) On Feb 14, 2010, at 10:44 AM, Andre Lopes wrote: Hi, I have sign an account with HostNine.com, but PostgreSQL version is 8.1 and don't allow triggers...

Re: [GENERAL] unable to restore from a pgdump file
Thanks, Steve. You are exactly right. pg_restore was the right command to use! Janet On Feb 13, 2010, at 7:36 PM, Janet S Jacobsen wrote: Hi. I am trying to restore a database from a pgdump file, something that I've sucessfully done before. I created a new database cluster, created the database that I want to restore using create database subptf with template = template0; and then I tried to restore the database using ./psql subptf subptf.pgdump The first part of what I get is ERROR: syntax error at or near PGDMP I'd guess that you created the dump in custom format, rather than sql format.

Re: [GENERAL] The easiest and robust way of configuring password pass through mechanism..
Thanks John for reply. Users can connect to database server in either way(from same computer or remote). Currently by default all users are able to connect to database as pg_hba file has been configured to TRUST for all users. I am planning to remove these all users and want only specific groups and users to connect to database server. I haven't configured the server so I don't know from where to start.
