i think i just need a METHOD for localhost only.



write a script that sets PGPASSWORD and then calls pg_dump,
use .pgconf,
or use trust or ident authenticateion in pg_hba.conf


  
  
   i think this site will help you out

[GENERAL] hi all

2009-02-17 Thread Kusuma Pabba

when creating tables,

in my sql i have used create table
CREATE TABLE `users` (
 `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
 `user_name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
 `first_name` varchar(50) default NULL,
 `middle_name` varchar(50) default NULL,
 `last_name` varchar(50) default NULL,
 `password` varchar(50) default NULL,
 `salt` varchar(50) default NULL,
 `secret_question` varchar(255) default NULL,
 `secret_answer` varchar(255) default NULL,
 `creator` int(11) default NULL,
 `date_created` datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
 `changed_by` int(11) default NULL,
 `date_changed` datetime default NULL,
 `voided` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
 `voided_by` int(11) default NULL,
 `date_voided` datetime default NULL,
 `void_reason` varchar(255) default NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY  (`user_id`),
 KEY `users_user_creator` (`creator`),
 KEY `users_user_who_changed_user` (`changed_by`),
 KEY `users_user_who_voided_user` (`voided_by`),
 CONSTRAINT `users_user_creator` FOREIGN KEY (`creator`) REFERENCES 
`users` (`user_id`),
 CONSTRAINT `users_user_who_changed_user` FOREIGN KEY (`changed_by`) 
REFERENCES `users` (`user_id`),
 CONSTRAINT `users_user_who_voided_user` FOREIGN KEY (`voided_by`) 
REFERENCES `users` (`user_id`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


while in pgsql i am thinking of to use the same as follows:

CREATE TABLE users (
 user_id int(11) NOT NULL serial,
 user_name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
 first_name varchar(50) default NULL,
 middle_name varchar(50) default NULL,
 last_name varchar(50) default NULL,
 password varchar(50) default NULL,
 salt varchar(50) default NULL,
 secret_question varchar(255) default NULL,
 secret_answer varchar(255) default NULL,
 creator int(11) default NULL,
 date_created datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
 changed_by int(11) default NULL,
 date_changed datetime default NULL,
 voided smallint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
 voided_by int(11) default NULL,
 date_voided datetime default NULL,
 void_reason varchar(255) default NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY  (user_id),
 KEY users_user_creator (creator),
 KEY users_user_who_changed_user (changed_by),
 KEY users_user_who_voided_user (voided_by),
 CONSTRAINT users_user_creator FOREIGN KEY (creator) REFERENCES users 
(user_id),
 CONSTRAINT users_user_who_changed_user FOREIGN KEY (changed_by) 
REFERENCES users (user_id),
 CONSTRAINT users_user_who_voided_user FOREIGN KEY (voided_by) 
REFERENCES users (user_id)

) ;

will that be valid to create a table like this
if no what all have to  be replaced
thanks for any help

to command prompt
