Re: [HACKERS] MySQL search query is not executing in Postgres DB
Greetings, My biggest concern is whether we might paint ourselves into a corner by including such an extension. It might shut off avenues for other cool features because anyone using the extension would have conflicts. Perhaps such a thing would be more appropriate on PGXN with admonitions that it was only intended to ease conversion and that users were encouraged to migrate to standard syntax as soon as possible. IMHO if you give someone syntax surgar like this and tell them to fix it ASAP it will never get fixed properly. I'm all for getting new users to pgsql, but this is not the way to do it.

Re: [HACKERS] Inputting relative datetimes
Greetings, On Thursday, August 25, 2011 05:39:09 AM Dean Rasheed wrote: As background, I have an app that accepts user text input and casts it to a timestamp in order to produce reports. I use PostgreSQL's timestamp input conversion for this, since it gives a lot of flexibility, and can parse pretty much anything the users throw at it. It is also handy that it recognizes special case values like now, today, tomorrow and yesterday. However, I can't see any way of entering more general relative timestamps like 5 days ago or 2 hours from now. Years ago I wrapped 'getdate.y' from the CVS source code and made it into a python extension. It handles +2 hours or next week, etc. I don't know much of anything about making pg contrib modules, but it should not be hard to do. The way it works is you pass in a string and it returns the unix timestamp. [...snipped...] Thoughts? Better ideas?

[HACKERS] quirk using 'ltree' module: paths ending with a dot result in cryptic error message
greetings, I am using opensuse 10.3, and postgresql-contrib-8.2.6-0.1 which has the ltree contrib bundled with it. I have found that if I do a search with a path that ends in a .

Re: Trim the Fat (Was: Re: [HACKERS] Open 7.3 items )
Besides, more generally, Postgres already has a reputation as being difficult to install. The proposal to separate out all the non-basics (I'm not even sure how one would draw that line: maybe a server-only package and a client-library package run through GBorg?) would mean that anyone wanting to do something moderately complicated would have a yet higher hurdle. Isn't that a problem? When you install freebsd or linux, is it a problem that all the perl modules you need have to fetched from cpan ? why can't they call just be part of the OS ?' likewise with dns servers, samba, apache etc.. this is a bit of a stretched example but the point is the same. Personall, I'd live to just be able to download the server with pg_dump psql etc.. But that's just me for what it's worth. jeff. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
Re: Trim the Fat (Was: Re: [HACKERS] Open 7.3 items )
How many thousands of web sites out there don't offer PgSQL due to teh hassle? Everyone is arguing 'why mysql vs pgsql?' ... if we had a simple 'libpq.tar.gz' that could be downloaded, nice and small, then we've just made enabling PgSQL by default in mod_php4 brain dead ... Case in point, I just installed FreeBSD 4.6 on a machine, i chose to install mod_php from /stand/sysinstall. It ofcourse installed php, with mysql as a dependency, i was annoyed, but when i looked at what was actually installed, it was just mysql client. The actually server did not get installed at all.
