To get a good answer, you will need to explain more about what you are trying to achieve and why you want it. There are already Debian packages for PostgreSQL. What is wrong with them? Do you want to build a package of a newer PostgreSQL for an older version of Debian/Ubuntu? If so, check backports.org before trying to build your own. If there isn't a backport to the version you want, I recommend that you get the source to the latest package for the latest debian release and backport that yourself rather than trying to make a new package from scratch. Do you actually want to *compile* an existing Debian package of PostgreSQL from source into a binary .deb? If so, use dpkg-build . -- 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

What database access driver/method are you using?
PostgreSQL doesn't support 'EXEC' ... you probably want to
SELECT myfunctionname(argument1, argument2);
instead. If you're using ODBC, you should be using the ODBC
procedure-call escape sequence to make it database-agnostic, eg:
{? = CALL procname(?,?)}
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403294.aspx
The ODBC driver for the database you're using should translate that into
suitable call syntax for your database, eg in PostgreSQL it should produce
SELECT procname(?,?);
and capture the result.
I was initially suspicious that the issue was the whitespace in the
quoted number, but that's not it. You're simply sending a completely
bogus query string, and that's the first point the parser happens to
choke on.

Your > source code must be in GPL too. Remember, it's a virus licence and has > the same problem that Midas king had. I meant to reply to this earlier, but was hoping you meant it as a joke given the Midas reference. Your statement is incorrect. PostgreSQL is not "relicensed" to GPL in any way. GPL requirements are transitive, sure, but they don't *change* the license of linked code, they just require you to distribute it under terms compatible with the GPL which in practice means no more restrictive than the GPL. Note the NUMEROUS CLOSED SOURCE COMMERCIAL TOOLS THAT WORK WITH PostGIS. Were your statement true, they would not be possible. Notably, linking PostGIS to the PostgreSQL server can have no effect on the terms of use or license of libpq, let alone separately distributed adapters like PgODBC, PgJDBC (which doesn't even use libpq!) etc, or on programs using PostgreSQL via those adapters. Again, I strongly recommend that the original poster ask the PostGIS people about this, rather than relying on speculation from people who don't specialise in licensing (myself included) or work on/with a GPL project themselves. The PostGIS folks will get this question a lot, so much so that I'm astounded there doesn't seem to be anything in the FAQ about it. They'll certainly have a good answer if you ask them on their mailing list or via irc://chat.freenode.net/postgis . You can see on the commercial support projects list here (http://www.refractions.net/products/postgis/support/) that there are projects using PostGIS in commercial, closed-source settings. Personally, I think it'd be _very_ helpful if you did publish source code, even if it were under a more restrictive license that (say) prevents its commercial use. I get really frustrated when I have to work with products I don't have source code and debug binaries for. [Yes, Adobe, I'm looking at you and your buggy products.] That said, I see no evidence of any *obligation* to do so and plenty of evidence that theres' no such obligation. The lesson here: for licensing questions, don't ask a mailing list full of people who aren't even part of the project whose license you're interested in. -- 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

It sounds like the standby isn't becoming ready to accept connections until it first catches up with the master, consuming all available WAL segments. If this never happens, it never starts accepting connections. I'm not sure if that's by design or not and if there's any reason it's that way.

[GENERAL] strange java query behaviour
Hi,
I've got a quite strange situation. Below is a simple test
@Test
public void test() throws SQLException {
String query1 = "SELECT * FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE
schema_name = ?";
String query2 = "SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace where nspname
= ?";
check(query1, "1", "public");
check(query2, "2", "public");
}
private void check(final String query, final String info, final String
param) throws SQLException {
PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(query);
stmt.setString(1, param);
ResultSet schemas = stmt.executeQuery();
boolean exists = schemas.next();
System.out.println(info + " : " + exists);
}
The output is:
1 : false
2 : true
When I query the database using psql, both queries return sensible data
(even when I prepare statements in postgres).
I'd like to use information_schema rather than using pg_catalog.

It looks like you're trying to call a function, but your syntax is entirely wrong. You probably want to read up on: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/database_guides/Practical_PostgreSQL_database/PostgreSQL_x20238_004.htm Curiously enough the rather fine manual isn't very verbose on this subject.

Could we see a complete (self-contained) example of this problem, rather than a snippet? And what PG version is this exactly? Given that line number, though, I wonder whether your problem is that you tried to put several thousand nested IFs into one plpgsql function. If so, the answer is probably "refactor your code".

Thanks for you reply Marti. I wil ltry to complete the description of the problem.

Re: [GENERAL] : PostgreSQL Online Backup
Sorry for not responding to this email for so long. Alan, We had mentioned the following line in recovery.conf file (we had given pg_xlog location since we did not have WAL archives) - restore_command = 'cp /pg_xlog/%f %p' We found where the problem was - Here is what i did - 1. We had taken a full backup using pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() on Day 1 2. Rest of the days (from Day 2 - Day 15), we had incrementally backed-up ( this is also using pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup()) 3. On Day-16th, when i started the recovery, PG was asking Day 1's WAL archive file, which we did not have. A fresh complete backup with change in our backup strategy resolved the issue.

Hello, sometimes I get encoding errors when inserting a s a encoded URL in a text field. The database uses UTF8, with both collation and c-type defined as en_US.UTF-8, and the URL field itself is defined as VARCHAR(1024). In the case that the URL is longer than 1024 the software truncates it. The inserted URL is extracted from the log file of the Squid Proxy, which is encoded in UTF8. The URL is encoded with RFC 1738 encoding of all non-ASCII characters in the path & query sections. puny-coding of characters in the host authority section.

[GENERAL] Upgrading an existing database structure
Hello all, I am interested in knowing how to upgrade a database structure on an existing database. I have a script that creates and alters tables, columns and data. When this script is run, errors are thrown for already inserted tables, columns and data. Anything that is not found in the existing database is then executed. This prevents existing data to not be wiped out. Does anyone else have a better way of upgrading a database structure on an existing database? Thanking you in advance.
