[GENERAL] Postgis Availability on Website or Cloud?

2010-04-17 Thread Bob Pawley
Hi

I am developing a PostgreSQL/PostGIS application (Geometric not Geographic).

I want to have the database on the web with a desktop user interface and viewer.

The usual method is to install a PostgreSQL server on a website and go from 
there. 

However, seeking a more flexible approach, I would like to explore other 
possibilities.

Is anyone aware of a PostgreSQL/PostGIS installation, either as a website or 
cloud based system, that allows users to access, install and run single or 
multiple databases, and be charged accordingly?

It would be something like having an "on demand" database capability.

Is this a service that would be useful to others?

Bob

It's not DNS.  I can resolve the hostnames just fine.  In fact, those two
both resolve to the same IP:  200.46.204.71

They just don't respond.

$ telnet 200.46.204.71 80
Trying 200.46.204.71...

just hangs indefinitely.  :(

I could read the release notes for 9.0 by then and still can now.  This is
from two different countries (Brazil first and now US), so this should be an
indicative that you might be having network issues.

Can you please try canging your DNS servers from whatever you have now to
Google's?

Make 8.8.4.4 primary and 8.8.8.8 secondary and try again.

You can also try using OpenDNS servers.

[GENERAL] Cannot access various Postgres sites

I'm only subscribed to -general and -hackers, so if this message should go
to a different list, please feel free to forward it along, but I've been
unable to get to a couple of the Postgres websites for quite awhile.

Back on March 20 Bruce Momjian posted a link in -hackers to the 9.0 release
notes (http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/release-9-0.html).
 It blew my mind that so many were able to discuss that page because
developer.postgresql.org didn't respond then, and it doesn't respond now.
 :(  I'd still like to read that page.

Today I wanted to peek inside the JDBC driver sources before I join their
mailing list and ask a bunch of dumb questions, but
jdbc.postgresql.orgisn't responding either.

I've also seen intermittent connectivity issues with planet.postgresql.org,
but it seems to be working today.

Is it just my network or is something up with these hosts?

Re: [GENERAL] partitioned lookup table?

2010-04-17 Thread Martin Gainty

Andreas-


I have marched to the Oracle drumbeat of partitioning table instead of using FK 
constraint for years
Are there timings which show FK constraint a better alternative than 
partitioning?

No, but trying to build against a non-self-consistent set of files is
bad.  You really need a pg_config.h that matches the original build of
the server, and you haven't got that.  I think Greg's point is that
trying to reverse-engineer that file is considerably more risky than
building your own packages from scratch.
  
and once again totally concurring with what you are saying...  for 
laughs, I went ahead and tweaked the fields in a copy of the 32bit 
pg_config.h that I suspected were obviously wrong, and rebuilt my module 
against that, and it got through most of the pl/java test suite.



so I know I'm on the right track, I just need the right pg_config.h from 
Bjorn and all will be well with my world.
