I need to back up a production database every night
on FreeBSD 7.2, running Postgresql 8.3.
Any good backup tips I should be aware of.
Typically, I make a backup based on the current day,
and rotate the seven days in the backup file name
(eg; sat_backup, sun_backup etc).
Thanks for all the
Personally I prefer multiple stages of backups off-site.
So for my production webserver database, I have slony replicating the database
to a different location. In addition I run full dumps every 12 hours which in
turn I replicate using rdist to a remote system. That way, whatever happens,

We are using two slaves this way:
- Active server moves WAL files to local directory,
doesn't care about slaves
(basically archive_command = 'mv %p /some/arch_dir/%f')
- Slaves pull WAL files via rsync
- Slaves also do full syncs every several hours (pg_start_backup / rsync /
pg_stop_backup)

If I use cygwin locally in this server and give command in cygwin session:

it works fine
But if i use via ssh same way, then no echo ... and process hang.

In my quest to create a simple PostgreSQL program that runs on the
iPhone I have ran into some problems.
The first issue I had with my build was libpq being compiled for
architecture of type x86_64 by default on Snow Leopard and the
Simulator being i386 so my build would fail telling me libpq was

Hi,
I am planning to pgmemcache to act as a fast-accessible cache before my app
and postgres.
I have got it pgmemcache setup. The question I have is that if memcached
crashes, and I need to restart memcached, since memcached is not persistent,
do I need to run some scripts to auto-recreate all

I suspect you are expecting that the map will cause root to be
logged in as postgres without asking for that. It won't.
What it will do is allow psql -U postgres and similar to work.
That's exactly what I am looking to do. In my case I have a script
that runs as root. I want to log in as
The native psql is written for Windows, not for Cygwin. You really
shouldn't be using it there... If you are using Cygwin, you should be
using a Cygwin psql.exe.
PG pages says: use native, not cygwin version anymore. It's not problem
if it's windows binary, you can use many native binary

then say you're postgres in the script with the -U (if you're using psql)

Obviously I need to tell postgres to trust the user root when

How do I do that?

I've googled, but there's 0 hits.
I have an issue with a ton of idle in transaction backends.
What I noticed is when I look at pg_locks, pretty much all of the processes
being idle in transaction have an exclusive lock of locktype virtualidx.
Well, that doesn't make sense to me, but maybe
