This looks very promising. I'll have to look over it and try a few things out but I think it puts me on the right track. Thanks! --Rainer > -Original Message- > From: Tom Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 10:56 AM > To: Rainer Mager > Cc: PostgreSQL Admin >

Thanks for the reply. I can try to explain the query but it is being generated semi-automatically so it is not hard coded for a particular purpose. Before going into the explanation, though, I have a litte bit of new information. First, it is ONLY the join condition that matters, the other param

2001-06-20 Thread Ross J. Reedstrom
If you look farther down that same dump, you'll see a CREATE RULE that looks something like: CREATE RULE AS ON SELECT CREATE RULE "_RETincluded_works" AS ON SELECT TO "included_works" DO INSTEAD SELECT "works"."uuid", "works"."title" as "lhs" [...] In other words, pg_dump, especially before 7

Re: [ADMIN] Re: pg_dump dumps views as tables???

2001-06-20 Thread Stephan Szabo
My guess would be that it's being dumped as a table with an ON SELECT rule (the internal form of the view). IIRC, 7.1's pg_dump is smarter about this. Check for a CREATE RULE for the table. On Tue, 19 Jun 2001, Gerard Mason wrote: > Anybody? > > > "Gerard Mason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in

Hi, if ant is already installed, you have to set two environment variables to run ant successfully. The first one is: %ANT_HOME% This one has to point to the directory where ANT is installed. It contains a bin directory and an lib directory. In the bin directory resides the batch file. In the

Ranier - Can you explain in words what this query is supposed to be doing? I'm guessing, from the DISTINCT, and the use of multiple occurances of the same table, that the result you want can be gotten at in some other way, that lets the backend be smarter about how it does it. Since it _is_ rele

Hello, again. Is there some way to turn off notices in postgres's logging? We have a sloppy programmer who wrote queries that cause postgres to print messages like: Adding missing FROM-clause entry for table "table_name" This application is used by hundreds of our customers, and hence gets lot

More info on this... First, this type of query seems to use exponential amounts of memory. I tried a join with 10 pieces (the one below with 9 used ~60MB) and it went up immediately to ~ 390MB usage and has been sitting there at 100% CPU usage for more than 10 minutes. This is on a database with a

2001-06-20 Thread Rainer Mager
Hi, Here is a query that demonstrates the problem. Running this takes about 60MB until it is done at which time it is freed (I was wrong when I said otherwise earlier). Interestingly, the same amount of memory is used when doing an EXPLAIN on this query. Also it happens to return 0 rows. P
