[GENERAL] psql core dump
Hi Guys, I downloaded a 9.0.4 binary from EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com/postgresql-904-installers-linux64 After several tires, it seems the psql client is very easy to core dump. See attached the core dump information. Is it a known psql issue? or it just related to EnterpriseDB package? Many thanks.

The Base64 encoding is trivial to implement, already supported by standard libraries for many languages and add-ons for the rest, fast to encode/decode, and much more compact than a hex encoding, so it seems like a more attractive option. PostgreSQL already supports base64 in explicit 'escape()' calls. Was concern about input format ambiguity a motivator for avoiding base64? Checking the archives: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-05/msg00238.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-05/msg00192.php ... it was considered but knocked back because it's enough more complex to encode that it could matter on big dumps and standards-compliant base64 appears to require newlines - something that was viewed as ugly and problematic. Initial input format detection reliability options were also raised, but as the same solution used for hex input would apply to base64 input too it doesn't look like that was a big factor. Personally, even with the newline 'ick factor' I think it'd be pretty nice to have as an option for dumps and COPY. Ascii85 (base85) would be another alternative. It's used in PostScript and PDF, but isn't anywhere near as widespread as base64. It's still trivial to implement and is 7-8% more space-efficient than base64. After a bit of digging, though, I can't help wonder if a binary dump format that's machine-representation independent, fast and compact isn't more practical. Tools like Thrift (http://thrift.apache.org), Protocol Buffers, etc might make it less painful. Maybe an interesting GsOC project? Supporting binary COPY with a machine independent format would be a natural extension of that, too. -- 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] temp tables not dropping at end of script
we're having a similar situation, where FunctionA calls FunctionB inside a cursor. FunctionB DROPs Temp table, then creates temp table. FunctionA runs through the cursor fine but breaks after the last loop, unable to DROP temporary table because it is being used by active queries in this session.

[GENERAL] Having a equal (=) operator on GIN-indexable columns
Hi!
I'm not sure how to write a good $subject for this , but here it goes;
I'd like to have a multi-column index on a varchar-field and a
tsvector-field. GIN only likes tsvector-fields so I'm wondering if it's
possible to create a tsvector from a text which doesn't breake the text
up in vectors, but uses the whole string as the vector instead?
Given the schema:
CREATE TABLE mytable(
id SERIAL PRIMAY KEY,
field VARCHAR NOT NULL,
tsvector_col tsvector NOT NULL
);
I'd like to form a query as follows:
SELECT id FROM mytable WHERE tsvector_col @@ to_tsquery('simple',
'andre:*') AND to_tsvector('simple', field) @@ to_tsquery('simple',
'full_text_search');
And I'd like it to be semantically equivalent of:
SELECT id FROM mytable WHERE tsvector_col LIKE 'andrea%' AND field =
'full_text_search';
But I see that 'full_text_search' is broken up (of course):
andreak=# select to_tsvector('simple', 'full_text_search');
to_tsvector
--
'full':1 'search':3 'text':2
Is it a way to achieve what I'm trying here?

[GENERAL] Help with ERROR: character 0xc280 of encoding UTF8 has no equivalent in WIN1252
Hi everyone, I have a database that is UTF8, and a client that is connecting using client encoding WIN1252. There are a few records in my database that somehow have gotten characters in them that are not viewable. When viewing the records from the command line using UTF8 client encoding there are strange looking characters, and the records cause an error when viewing under WIN1252 encoding. I cannot modify the data, so my alternative was this query, which I found an example for on a list that Google was kind enough to translate from French for me: set client_encoding to 'WIN1252' ; SELECT soldnotesid,soldid,regexp_replace(notes, E'\u008C', ' ', 'g') as notes, privatenote,modified,userloginid,notetype,sourcekey,hidden,notesmodified ,notesmodifiedby,created from soldnotes where soldid'317773002' and soldid'317771002' However, it still errors out: psql:sql3:7: ERROR: character 0xc280 of encoding UTF8 has no equivalent in WIN1252 Is there any way to mask these bad characters from the field in a query to allow the client to work?

Hi, I took a patch that was available under 8.0.4 for Avahi zeroconfig and adpted it to 9.0.3. Though publication of the service type _postgresql._tcp is successful. When I shutdown the Postgres server the advertised service is not removed from mDNS and is visible though not resolvable for a very long period of time ( hour ? ) Based on stepping through the modified code I do hit the avahi interface calls to clean-up. e.g. avahi_client_free, avahi_threaded_poll_stop, avahi_threaded_poll_free Anyone with experience using the avahi publication patch in 8.0.4 or above with a similar observation on stopping the server not correctly un-publishing the postgres service. e.g avahi-browse -vrt _postgres._tcp# finds service still visible. Thanks Dave

Most likely you will need to remove your postgres user account and/or the PostgreSQL folder in Program Files. OpenERP should be installing PostgreSQL independently on a non-default port using a non-default user account so that it does not conflict with the default PostgreSQL installers. I suggest you report this issue to them, as there is no reason you should not be able to run a regular PostgreSQL as well as OpenERP's PostgreSQL at the same time. On a side note, I think it'd be great if the Pg (un)installer for Windows had a clean uninstall that stripped all this stuff, or a separate clean system utility.

I would like to crypt certain sensitive information in my applications such as Student register number, their marks, results etc. For this reason i done a study for doing encryption. Where I found that this PGP will help the encryption/decryption. Sure. You can also just use a simple symmetric cypher for that sort of thing, unless you know you need the ability to encrypt data without knowing the secret key. Since I presume your application needs to be able to *read* the data it has written, and needs to be able to access that data in decrypted form, I doubt you really need a public key system like PGP. Your application will need to know the secret key to decrypt the data anyway. Any other methods/techniques are there for encryption? Symmetric cyphers like AES. They're faster and easier to work with, just a bit less flexible. I prefer encryption with key; key also should not be known to Developers. All encryption systems use a key. Do you mean a separate public and private key? If so: why? What specific advantages does that gain you in your situation? Public key crypto (for encryption) is mostly useful when you have less-trusted users/clients/whatever sending you information that you want to keep secret from other people and from other users, so only a few people can *read* the information even though many can *write* it. If this is your situation you might have a use for pgcrypto's PGP support; otherwise I'd suggest using a symmetric key for simplicity. As for secrecy: You can't really keep the key secret from the developers if they will have any access to the production system (for testing, troubleshooting, performance tuning, etc). That's because the production system needs to know the decryption key, and if the system knows the key the developers of the system can get it to reveal that key. Even if you don't give the developers the key, nothing stops them modifying the program so that it emails a copy of the key to them whenever it loads a key, or saves an unencrypted copy to a file on a shared drive, or whatever. If the production system has an Internet connection or any access to any other resource the developers can access as well, they can get the key. -- 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] determine client os
On 06/13/2011 07:04 AM, Sim Zacks wrote: I didn't see a function for this, but is there a way in a postgresql query to determine the client OS? A PostgreSQL client application is something that speaks a correct protocol to the server. The server has no concept of what the client is other than the fact that it speaks a particular version of its language. It knows the IP address and port number it connected on, but that's basically it. So the idea of a query determining the client OS doesn't make sense; all it knows is what the client tells it, and the information required to connect to the server and execute queries does not include any such details. If you want information about a client to make its way into a statement run on the server, you have to drive that from the direction of the client you're using yourself. If your client is psql for example, you might pass client-side information into the program by using the -v/--set/--variable substitution mechanism, possibly combined with the SQL interpolation facility of psql. But if your client program is in another programming language, you'll have to use some facility in it to fill in this information. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant USg...@2ndquadrant.com Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services, and 24x7 Support www.2ndQuadrant.us PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance: http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/books -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
