Re: PostgreSQL in Universities (Was: Re: [HACKERS] 7.4 Wishlist)

[Manuel Cabido]

Hi:

   We at the Department of Information Technology of the Mindanao State
University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) in Iligan City,
Philippines had been using PostgreSQL since 1998 in teaching courses in
Databases, SQL, and as a support tool in teaching Software Engineering and
Web Application Development. We are even utilizing it as our database
backend in all applications we developed in-house like Payroll, Student
Enrollment, Financial Applications, etc.  At the rate PostgreSQL is
performing, we are not for any reason tempted to migrate to another
database for the next ten years.

   THANKS TO THE POSTGRESQL DEVELOPMENT TEAM. 

   We Salute YOU!

Re: [HACKERS] BLOB

[Manuel Cabido]

Hi PostgreSQL Folks,

I would like to inquire how is the BLOB support in PostgreSQL is doing 
now? Had there been some improvements? Can I have the blob support like in 
this manner?


 create table myblob (
blobid  serial not null primary key,
namevarchar(50),
image   blob));

 for some doc,xls, and ppt files, can i do this operations?

 Insert into myblob (name,image) values (' personal data','personal.doc');
 Insert into myblob (name,image) values (' business data','business.xls');
 Insert into myblob (name,image) values (' presentation data','present.ppt');

I would appreciate it very much for whatever comments you can give me 
on this.

Thank you and MORE POWER TO THE BEST OPENSOURCE DBMS!

Mr. Manny Cabido

Hi there...

   I would like to inquire of possible support for running PostgreSQL on a
Linux Cluster. How would i implement and configure PostgreSQL as a
distributed database i.e. replicated on several servers?

   I am anxious to hear from you guys.

[Manuel Cabido]

Hi there,

   I would like to inquire of any support for WinME to run
PostgreSQL. Should anyone knows how, I would be grateful to ask for
advice. I need to run PostgreSQL on my WinME box.

Re: [HACKERS] A post-7.1 wish-list.

[Manuel Cabido]

I would like to inquire if in the next release of postgresql the database
will have to be compacted into a single file like what Interbase
database supports? I find this feature convenient because it will simplify
the updating of your database considering that you will be dealing only
with one single file.

Thanks and MORE POWER TO EVERYONE!
