Re: [GENERAL] Contrib source

Yeah, I didn't realize that contrib source is in regular source download, nor did I notice that Synaptic was installing its own version of PG. The bulb wasn't lit. In all, I think I should have had two installs of PG; the one I built from source way back when (and stored out of standard locati

I just got wholly confused. Synaptic makes it appear that *contrib is a separate entity. And the source isn't in a src subdirectory, but in the contrib directory directly. If I built PG on a regular basis, I might remember all this. The xTuple folks only support a few PG releases, and with a

D'oh! I didn't recall that it was packaged together, but the contrib source isn't in src, where I looked. Oh well. thanks, Robert Original message >Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:04:43 -0400 >From: Reid Thompson >Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Contrib source >To: gnuo...@rcn.com >Cc: pgsql-g

Can anyone explain why the following query (used by AQT to display its tree): SELECT trig.tgname, tab.relname, case trig.tgenabled when '1' then 'yes' else 'no' end, trig.oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_trigger trig, pg_catalog.pg_class tab, pg_catalog.pg_namespace nam WHERE trig.tgrelid=tab.oid AND tab.re

[GENERAL] recatalog existing databases after re-build from source

2009-03-13 Thread gnuoytr
Going through the PLPython threads on the Planet, I realized that I needed plpython. So I rebuilt PG with python, expecting that I could then re-catalog the databases. But, not. initdb, wants the data directory, which is where the database files are, and doesn't run if it's not empty. The da
