[GENERAL] ON_ERROR_EXIT and interactive mode (or, how to force interactive mode off)

2013-12-27 Thread Tim Kane
HI all, I have a fairly complex python script which calls a number of ‘psql’ sessions via a subprocess to perform bulk load operations. The bulk loads are generated on the fly, and are written directly to the stdin of the subprocess. I would like to rely on the ON_ERROR_STOP=1 functionality to

Postgres is going to /usr/local/pgsql/data/drupal_dbspace/ to look for the 9.0 files instead of /usr/local/pgsql_90/data/drupal_dbspace/ and is trying to copy them as 9.3 versions into the new default location which has the same path. Since the new

FYI, some testing showed that playing around with spclocation in pg_tablespace is not recommended. Do you happen to have more information about this? Because it would actually solve all my problems by moving the user created tablespaces out of the /data directory. But I would like more
