[SQL] what is maximum size of "text" datatype in postgres?

2004-09-13 Thread Smit
Hi,

i wanted to know, what is maximum size of "text"
datatype in postgres.
It is given as "unlimited characters" in the postgres
documentation. 
But it doesn't store characters more than 5000. The
connection get lost if i tried to store more than 5000
characters.

I had read somewhere on forum that its max limit is 8
bytes, and we can increase it to 32 bytes.

Do any one know how to increse it? 
or do anyone know any other way to solve this problem.

Thanks,
Smita

[SQL] how to monitor the archiving process?

2005-03-02 Thread Smit
Hello,

i am using postgreSQL 8.0.1.
i wanted to archive the WAL files.
i had set the 'archive_command' variable in the
posgresql.conf file as 

archive_command = 'cp -i %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f'

but its not working.
can anybody tell me, is there anything else which
should be done and i missed it out?
and also how to monitor the archiving process?

Thanks in advance,
Smita
