Re: [GENERAL] incorrect restore from pg_dumpall
Yes, You were right, the problem was in the different libraries. I worked around by installing the postgis version 1.3.6, reloading the databases and subsequently uprading the postgis to 1.4.1. Thank You for Your help Tomas p.s.: what is really a mystery that also the mentioned table with no data were successfully reloaded, those tables did not contain spatial data ... :) On Fri, 2009-11-27 at 16:28 -0800, Paul Ramsey wrote: > In order to restore a backup taken with pg_dumpall you'll want to > ensure that the postgis installed in your new system is identical to > the postgis in your old one.

[GENERAL] incorrect restore from pg_dumpall
Hello, I am trying to restore my databases stored by a pg_dumpall command in the Karmic Koala box. The restore command is the following: psql -f /media/disk/.../backup -U postgres I have a PostsgreSQL 8.4 installed from repositories with postgis1.4.1. I recognized that the tables with spatial geometries were not restored but at the moment I am almost sure that it's caused by that the older version of postgis in the stored database. What is a kind of mystery for me that data in several tables were not restored, although the table definitions did (it means that I got several tables without data) althoug the data are there in the backup file (I checked physically). I really don't understand what's going on there, I did the same many times before, without any problem.

[GENERAL] how to cite postgresql?
I am using Postgresql to store all my research related data. At the moment I am just finishing my PhD thesis and I want to cite postgresql correctly but can't find how to do it.

Re: [GENERAL] citing postgresql
I meant something for use in publications, like it is used for R and
almost identically for GRASS:
R Development Core Team (2008). R: A language and environment for
statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Development Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2008},
note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
url = {http://www.R-project.org},
}
I changed the subject BTW. First time I sent this message to the list it
was from my another account, not subscribed here, so I just copied the
text and instead the subject I copied an address ... I am exhausted,
sorry ... :-)
Regards
Tomas

You can start by looking at the wikipedia entry. Not sure what you
mean by citing the db. Are you looking at citing where it comes from,
who makes it, what?
It can be kinda tough to classify open source software... :)

[GENERAL] could not open file xxxx for writing: Permission denied
Hello, Using PostgreSQL 8.1.4, pgadmin III 1.6.0 in WinXP I tried to export a table using COPY (first time in postgresql, did many times in Sybase): COPY ml50jtsk_datum_v TO 'c:/postgresql/ml50jtsk.out'; I got the following errormessage: ERROR: could not open file "c:/postgresql/ml50jtsk.out" for writing: Permission denied SQL state: 42501 What's wrong? Does it mean that the database user has no writing permission out of the database? How I did a pg_dump then few weeks ago?

[GENERAL] Sounds silly ...
Hello, I uninstalled the Postrgressql 8.1.0-2 (Win XP Pro) and tried to install the version 8.1.1-1 instead. In the Service configuration window I put in all the required data. After clicking "next" I got an error message that user "XY was not found, and it will be created. During the installation the installer tried to create an acocunt, but than it gave an errormessage that the account already exists and the installation rolled back. Do somebody have a similar problem or do have somebody a suggestion what to do? Can I somehow remove this account?
