Re: [HACKERS] PG-MQ?

Do you guys need something PG specific or built into PG? ActiveMQ is very nice, speaks multiple languages, protocols and supports a ton of features. Could you simply use that? http://activemq.apache.org/ Rob ___

I read the hackers list all the time, and have for years, and my company sponsors PG events every few months, and I would consider myself fairly "plugged in" to PG, and this is the first I have seen/heard of the PostgreSQL Foundation http://thepostgresqlfoundation.org/ Perhaps a little more prom

Re: [HACKERS] Feature freeze date for 8.1

As a user, I would definetly prefer to see 8.1 released sooner with the feature set listed below, than wait another 6+ months for a few other features. Additionally, the beta may go smoother/faster if you don't have too many huge features going in at once. Just my opinion. Later Rob --- Bruce Mom

Re: [HACKERS] DO INSTEAD and conditional rules

2005-04-26 Thread Rob Butler
For this particular scenario, can't you just create two ON DELETE rules? The first would delete from b, the second from a. Perhaps an example with a scenario like this can be added to the doc's? So, the short answer is you can only perform one query in a rule, but you can have multiple rules de

Are rules even needed anymore? Can't you do this all with triggers? If you want to "DO INSTEAD" just use a row based trigger, and return null. Or is this less efficient? Later Rob --- David Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Apr 26, 2005, at 8:55 AM, Tom Lane wrote: > > > Well, they handl

Hey folks, Sorry to post with this (slightly) off topic message, but just wanted to get the word out. Bruce and Jan will be presenting on Postgresql April 16th at Penn State Great Valley in Malvern, PA. The event is sponsored by the company I work for, Chariot Solutions. It's completely free a

That makes it sound as if you didn't do the same level of testing on *this* release, like it didn't go through all the tests or something. How about "it does not have the extensive testing history that other supported platforms in this release have." Later Rob > > OK, new wording: > >

Of course I have no time to work on it : (, but in my opinion XA interface and support for the JDBC driver is absolutely necessary. I think that 2pc will generally be used more for supporting 2pc transactions between the DB and JMS than it would be for 2pc across 2 db's. Glad to see some progress
