archives=# select * from archives where headers like '%To: webmaster%';
ERROR:  Unable to identify an operator '~~' for types 'bytea' and 'unknown'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast

How should I be writing this so as to match rows where the headers 
include 'To: webmaster'?

[GENERAL] is there a function/variable with remote host addr?

2001-09-03 Thread David Ford

As the subject says, is there a function or variable in pg I can use as 
a default insert/update value on a column that represents the IP or 
hostname of the current session's remote client?

Ugg.  I'd rather setup a bot to relay to irc.openprojects.net.  EFnet is 
a sickly beast that can't manage to keep links and routing worth a darn. 
 Not to mention that several servers can't seem to figure out your 
hostname or ident even tho tcpdump clearly shows the response.  'twould 
only be EFnet servers that do this.

[GENERAL] A lock to fit a key..

I need to figure out a way to allow users to only be able to update a 
certain column in a table.  Does anyone have any ideas to start with?
