Yes, on windows, you use a semicolon as path separator. regards, - thomas - Original Message - From: "Tom Lane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Thomas Hallgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2004 17:20 Subject: Re: [HACKERS] dynamic_library_path on Win32 > "Thomas Hallgren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > I'm using CVS HEAD in a windows environment.

';' is what's used in PATH, and several other such places. //Magnus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

[HACKERS] dynamic_library_path on Win32
I'm using CVS HEAD in a windows environment. I'm trying to start the postmaster using "postmaster -c dynamic_library_path=C:/foo/bar". It starts just fine, then, when I ask it to load a module, an error is generating stating: ERROR: component in parameter "dynamic_library_path" is not an absolute path I added a trace to find out what it thinks the path is. It prints "C". Obviously it treats ':' as a path separator somewhere. Is that the intended behavior on win32?
