Could you run through the make with -k
and see what else might be missing the reference?
OK. I ran through it again, doing a make clean beforehand (thanks 
John). The make -k and it still stalls at the same place:

make -C ecpglib all

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[GENERAL] Anyone has nls activated on Mac OS X?

2004-02-03 Thread Francois Suter
Hi all,

I'm trying to compile PostgreSQL from scratch on Mac OS X 10.3.2 with 
national language support activated (so that I can work better on the 
French translation of PostgreSQL). Marc Liyanage's package doesn't have 
nls.

I installed gettext using Fink and then gave it a go. The configure 
part went ok, but make complained that it couldn't find msgfmt. I 
downloaded Peter Eisentraut's package of utilities, but I can't get it 
to make. It complains as follows:

Macbeth:~/Desktop/bsd-gettext-20011206 root# make
make  all-recursive
Making all in sup
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o libsup.la
rm -fr .libs/libsup.la .libs/libsup.* .libs/libsup.*
ar cru .libs/libsup.a

Thanks for any help.

Re: [GENERAL] Mailing list? was Postgress and MYSQL

2004-01-15 Thread Francois Suter
why not use pgsql-chat, which isn't being used at all right now ... ?
I would suggest that we consider forming a pgsql-competitive email 
list for
Whatever, but using another mailing is definitely an excellent idea. I 
actually stopped reading -general recently because it got bogged down 
in yet another PostgreSQL vs MySQL debate. And the same happens to 
advocacy too, although less frequently.

Then again this means that whoever moderates -general (is that you 
Marc?) would have to move PostgreSQL vs MySQL threads to the other 
mailing list whenever they crop up, otherwise any benefits will be 
lost.

Cheers.

[GENERAL] Trouble with some concepts

2003-09-19 Thread Francois Suter
Hi all,

As announced previously I am currently working with other people on the 
translation of PostrgreSQL to French, applications and manuals. We have 
stumbled on a couple of concepts which are not very clear to us and 
thus do not know very well how to translate. Can someone explain the 
following:

msgid "the target relation %u is nailed"

One translator said that "nailed" was used for permanent network 
connection. Could this message mean that the relation is locked by a 
permanent connection to the database?

msgid "improper qualified name (too many dotted names): %s"

What's a qualified name?

msgid "database name may not be qualified"

Does this mean that the database with some given name cannot be found, 
or that the given name is not valid or something else entirely?

msgid ""
"cannot cluster on expressional index when index access method does not 
"
"handle nulls"

Is an expressional index an index built on a calculated field (say two 
concatenated field or whatever) or something else?

Thanks for the help.

Re: [GENERAL] 4D to PostgreSQL tools

2003-09-16 Thread Francois Suter
Thanks.

There is a connectivity tool, PostgreSQL for 4D, available from 
Exenevex at:

   http://www.exenevex.com/next/us/prod.php?id=9
Yes, I found that with google.

What exactly are you having trouble with in doing the migration? I ask 
as the process is simple enough that a tool for doing the job is 
really not needed...
I personally have no trouble, just forwarding a question. I think the 
person wanted to know if there was some tool where they could just take 
their 4D dump, transmogrify it to a PostgreSQL dump and voilĂ ! But if 
you say that the process is simple enough that no tool is warranted, I 
consider that a valid answer and will pass it on. Thanks.

Bye.

[GENERAL] 4D to PostgreSQL tools

2003-09-16 Thread Francois Suter
Hi all,

Someone asked me today if there are tools to migrate a 4D database to 
PostgreSQL. Any clue?

Some googling turned up a tool to go the other way round and the 
archives got me an unanswered post about migrating from 4D to 
PostgreSQL, so I guess there's not much chance...

Cheers.

Re: [GENERAL] Visual database structure browser for postgresql?

2003-08-29 Thread Francois Suter
I am looking for something like visual database structure browser. I 
need to see all tables and relations beetween them. Something like 
"Relations" window in Microsoft database products (ex. msaccess)
Hi,

Try dbVisualizer: http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/

You can view the relations, but cannot save the view though (it's in 
the works apparently).

Re: [GENERAL] Mailing list in French

2003-08-20 Thread Francois Suter
Well, the idea of mailing list is to exchange information and help 
each other.
Obviously if few great things happen on some mailing list and others 
don't come
to know it, defeats the purpose of having a mailing list.
I agree. This is one of my worries. If nothing happens on the French 
list, it will be an empty shell. Then again, there seems to be a demand 
for something not in English. So here goes and let's just hope it will 
work out.

As an experiment can we have a translation gateway so that these two 
lists, in
general and french-general can interact? I mean the idea should be to 
help
people getting communicate better rather than having a separate list 
as such.
That would be nice, but how could we go about that?

Cheers

[GENERAL] PostgreSQL consulting company in France or Europe?

2003-08-02 Thread Francois Suter
Hi All,

Someone asked me via the advocacy site if there exists a company diffusing
and offering support/consulting services for PostgreSQL in France, or more
generally in Europe. Is there anything of the sort?

This person is obviously interested in a commercial venture. Do you think
there would be a market for this?

Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Cheers.

Huh, yeah, I remember now reading about this. Thanks a lot.

Still any idea about why isn't it faster to query on the primary key than on
the two foreign keys?
