[HACKERS] postmaster.pid not visible
Hi All, I installed PostgreSQL-8.3.1 on my Suse Linux machine, it went on fine without any problems and I was able to create and access the database, even I was able to start, restart and check the status of the service. Since it is my local machine and people are remotly connecting to the database on my local machine, I used to keep the machine up and running. Today I came and checked and It was telling me that the service of postgres is not running, so I went and checked the postmaster.pid file it was not in the data folder, but I was able to get to the psql prompt and execute standard sql statements, even people were able to connect remotly and access the databse on my machine. The only difficult that I was facing was that I was unable to restart or stop the service. So with the help of the ps -ef | grep postgres command I was able to trace out the pid and then manually kill the pid with the kill -9 command, after this I was able to restart, stop or check the status of the service. Can anyone throw light on why the postmaster.pid was not visible, the other intresting factor that I observed was that the postgres service was running on the 5432 port this was visible from the /tmp location. Also I would like to know if theer is any other alternative with which i can restart the service and retain the postmaster.pid file. Thanks in advance Regards Cinu Explore your hobbies and interests.

[HACKERS] Switching between terminals
Hi All, I am having an issue with a deadlock scenario in PostgreSQL 8.3.1I have the following database postgres, what I do is create two tables t1 and t2 in this database and I have the following fileds t1(a_id smallint, fn character(20), ln character(20), rt smallint)t2( c_id smallint, c_name character(20));The connection to the "postgres" database is established through two terminals;From the 1st terminal I give the following command1) begin transaction; update t2 set c_name = 'lock' where c_id = 1;From the 2nd terminal I give the following command2) begin transaction; update t1 set ln = 'lock' where a_id = 1;Then I come back to the 1st terminal and execute the following3) update t1 set ln = 'lock' where a_id = 1;Then I come to 2nd Terminal and execute the following 4) update t2 set c_name = 'lock' where c_id = 1;When I come out I get the following error message ERROR: deadlock detected DETAIL: Process 15171 waits for ShareLock on transaction 12738; blocked by process 15183. Process 15183 waits for ShareLock on transaction 12739; blocked by process 15171.This is perfectly fine, but what i am trying to acheive is that I am putting the above four queries in 4 different .sql files and executing it in the same way as displayed above by using two different terminals, please refer below the sequence which I am using.From the 1st terminal I give the following command1) psql -f dl11.sql -U postgres -d postgresFrom the 2nd terminal I give the following command2) psql -f dl21.sql -U postgres -d postgresThen I come back to the 1st terminal and execute the following3) psql -f dl12.sql -U postgres -d postgresThen I come to 2nd Terminal and execute the following4) psql -f dl22.sql -U postgres -d postgresI should be getting the same message about deadlock detection, but I am unable to get that.Could anyone please tell me where I am going wrong and if there is a way I can get the same behaviour that I am getting while I am executing the through psql prompt.Thanks in advanceWaiting for replyRegardsCinu Explore your hobbies and interests.

Re: [HACKERS] Installation of Postgres 32Bit on 64 bit machine
Hi, Thanks for the reply...When you are saying that I need to install 32 bit version of Libraries, are you referring to the libraries that are specified in the error message, I infact searched for the libraries and got it installed but some of the libraries are not available for SUSE Linux, if you install any other libraries it does not resolve the error.Please let me know what has to be done to resolve this issue.Thanks in advanceRegardsCinu--- On Tue, 20/5/08, Douglas McNaught <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:From: Douglas McNaught <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Subject: Re: [HACKERS] Installation of Postgres 32Bit on 64 bit machineTo: "cinu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Cc: pgsql-hackers@postgresql.orgDate: Tuesday, 20 May, 2008, 3:27 AMOn Mon, May 19, 2008 at 1:40 PM, cinu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > > > I am trying to install PostgreSQL(postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm) on a 64 > bit machine, when I try to install I get the following error message: > > > > :/home/dump/postgres32bit # rpm -ivh postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm > postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-libs-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm > warning: postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: > NOKEY, key ID 20579f11 > error: Failed dependencies: > libcrypto.so.4 is needed by postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > libreadline.so.4 is needed by postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > libssl.so.4 is needed by postgresql-server-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > initscripts is needed by postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > libcrypto.so.4 is needed by postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > libreadline.so.4 is needed by postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > libssl.so.4 is needed by postgresql-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > libcrypto.so.4 is needed by postgresql-libs-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > > libssl.so.4 is needed by postgresql-libs-8.2.4-1PGDG.i686 > > > > This installation is being done on SUSE linux 10, please let me know if > there is any alternative with which I can bypass these errors and make the > installation successful. You need to install 32-bit versions of the libraries PG depends on. They can coexist alongside the 64-bit versions. -Doug From Chandigarh to Chennai - find friends all over India. Click here.

[HACKERS] Errors with run_build.pl - 8.3RC2
Hi All,
I was running the run_Build.pl script that is specific
to Buildfarm and encountered errors. I am listing out
the names of the logfiles and the errors that I have
seen.
Can anyone give me some clarity on these errors?
Even though these errors are existing, at the end the
latest version is getting downloaded and when I do a
regression testing it goes through. Can anyone give me
clarity on why these errors are occuring?
The logfiles with the errors are listed below, these
errors are for the version 8.3RC2:

[HACKERS] Regression testing

[HACKERS] run_build.pl ~ By Andrew Dunstan
Hi All, I was exploring through the BuildFarm specific perl script run_build.pl. I executed the perl script and it went on file by downloading the latest PostgreSQL source code that is 8.3Beta2, after successful completion of the script it creates the required set of logfiles in the "lastrun-logs" folder. Now Inside this script there are certain places where the "rmtree"command is used for removing the installation, if I comment these places it should not remove the current installation, but infact it is doing so, it is installing the latest version of PostgreSQL in the location "/HEAD/inst/bin" and after the execution of the script it is cleaning the folder "inst". Please tell me : 1) Is "rmtree" the command used for removing the installation or is there any other command for the same, please specify? 2) Is there any site or portal where I can get detailed description about the perl script run_build.pl? 3) If I rename the perl script "run_build.pl" to some other file like "test.pl" will it execute or will it give errors? For your information : I am running this script through the postgres user. Please let me know if there is any other details required.
