[GENERAL] How to emulate password generation in PHP with PlpgSQL?
Hi,
I need to create users in a database function. I'am dealing with a PHP
application, the code that generate the password is this:
[code]
public function salt()
{
return substr(md5(uniqid(rand(), true)), 0, 10);
}
public function hash_password($password, $salt=false)
{
if (empty($password))
{
return FALSE;
}
if (FALSE $salt)
{
return sha1($password . $salt);
}
else
{
$salt = $this-salt();
return $salt . substr(sha1($salt . $password), 0, -10);
}
}
[/code]
It is possible to emulate this in a PlpgSQL function?
I have a function that generates the SHA1 codes
[code]
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sha1(bytea) returns text AS $$
SELECT encode(digest($1, 'sha1'), 'hex')
$$ LANGUAGE SQL STRICT IMMUTABLE;
[/code]
But I'am not getting how to generate the SALT. Can someone give me a clue on
how to do this.

[GENERAL] how to alias a table
I'm refactoring some code and I'll find helpful to be able to alias tables. What I'd like to do would be to refer to the same table with an alias in the code and later substitute the alias with an actual VIEW. Of course I could define a view as select * from original_table right from the start but I'm worried this may incur in some overhead I currently can't afford. thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- 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] Best way to store case-insensitive data?
Please don't top-post. Mike Christensen wrote: Ah, I should probably upgrade to 8.4. However, I'll probably just wait for 9.0 to come out. So it seems like citext will be about the same as casting both sides to LOWER(), plus putting an index on the lowercase version of the text. I'd probably use that if it were out of the box, but I'm trying to stay away from adding too many dependencies.. I think I'll stick with my original approach of only storing lowercase data in the DB, and perhaps put a CHECK constraint on there to ensure no upper case letters sneak in. If your db contains international text there are some corner cases where lower( upper( val )) != val or upper( lower( val )) != val. Or there should be, because that's what happens in certain languages. For example, upper-case 'ß' should be 'SS' in German. Lower-case 'SS' is 'ss'. -- Lew -- 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] Partial indexes instead of partitions

Historic data will have just the big index... Well, you can estimate if it's worth bothering with index partitioning. For selects you should compare logM(N) N - number of records M - (base) number of records in b-tree node (in one 8k page) for whole table partition and index partition but I do not think the difference would be great. For inserts I do not see the reason why it would be better to use index partitioning because AFAIK b-tree would behave exactly the same in both cases. That is, the table where data will be inserted (ts will always be ascending, so I will always insert data in the latest table) will have multiple small indexes. Then, at night, the small indexes would be dropped after one big index has been created (since no more rows will be inserted in that table, I don't care if the index is big). So, a query like: select * from master where key1=938479 and ts between now() and now()-10 minutes You should explicitly state the index conditions and the partition conditions here otherwise they would not be used SELECT * FROM master WHERE -- For table partition ts = '2006-03-10' AND ts '2006-04-10' AND -- For index partition ts = '2006-03-10 01:00' AND ts '2006-03-10 02:00' AND -- Target conditions key1 = 938479 AND ts BETWEEN now() AND now() - interval '10 minutes'; Furthermore I would suggest you to use this index CREATE INDEX master_10_2_ix1 ON master_10 (key1, ts) WHERE ts = '2006-03-10 01:00' and ts '2006-03-10 02:00'; if you want Target conditions to work optimal way. a query like: select * from master where key1=938479 and ts between 3 days ago and 2 days ago You can not use BETWEEN here because it is equal to ts = ...

Re: [GENERAL] Re: Error on Windows server could not open relation base/xxx/xxx Permission denied
can you please give more information about the (windows)-user postgres ? is it a local user on that machine? How was that user created? It's the user created by the one-click installer. I believe it owns the postgres data directory and is used to start the server. Other than that, the intention is for this user to have no other file privileges. The default is postgres but it could be anything. Are there any group-policies or similar, or security-applications present, which can change the rights of this user postgres? (Or, can change the access-properties of files on the system?) I don't know. It is not my computer, it is my client's computer. We will investigate if anything like that is going on. He was only available until 4PM today and we just discovered what was happening shortly before that point. The people that do their security should be available Monday and we can ask them this type of question. Any idea of what to look for? Your sentenceabout postgres being unhappy when not having access to the files makes me curious how you did learn that --- was somebody / something taking file access away from Postgres? Could that somebody / something still be active? That somebody was me, experimenting over the years. But I have not been messing around with this particular application. However, I'm not sure what the client did, as they copied the data files between the two computers at a time when I wasn't available. (They zipped, then unzipped after logging in as the proper user.) As a developer for multiple clients, I need easy access to my development copies of my clients' postgres data files. Therefore I have experimented with allowing my own userid to have access to the data directory and the subdirectories and files. I believe postgres doesn't care if you allow extra users, as long as postgres still has the proper access.

Re: [GENERAL] Re: Error on Windows server could not open relation base/xxx/xxx Permission denied
I was talking to a friend (Joe Newcomer) who said that Unix doesn't have mandatory file locks and he guessed that the empty, system, read only files I saw at my client's site were unix-like lock files. To test that, on my home development computer I typed this command in the base\16384 diretory: attrib +r 2611 That is, I made 2611 read only. Sure enough, pgadmin can't display the columns for any of the tables. I get permission denied for 2611. And sure enough, the Java application runs fine and indeed is able to export the table definition, complete with columns. So this is exactly the behavior observed at my client's site. Apparently the problem boils down to this question: how did some of the files get set to be system and read only? Anybody ever seen this? Perhaps it's not even a postgres question. We will investigate further Monday when people are in the office. Any thoughts from anybody would be appreciated. Reminder: the problem with 2611 was observed on the second computer, which runs XP Pro 2002 SP3. The problems pasting 50K of text was first observed on the first computer, running 2000 Server if I remember right. It does not therefore seem to be related to AV software (the original suggestion) or the OS. John On Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:10:27 -0700, Adrian Klaver wrote: On Sunday 13 June 2010 1:41:01 pm John T.

So I changed the pg_hba.conf file and the postgresql.conf file as suggested. Now, the service seems to take forever to start up (appears to hang), then dies with the message: The postgresql-8.4-PostgreSQL Server 8.4 service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services start automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service. My pg_hba.conf file has the following line: host all all 192.168.0.1/24 trust If I remove the line, the server starts up instantly. If I restore the line, the server takes for ever to start-up and ends up with the same error in this thread. My listen_addresses value is set to '*'. The postgres user already has full permissions on all the folders, including data and pg_log. any errors in the latest file in pg_log ? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
