If PostgreSQL failed to compile on your computer or you found a bug that is likely to be specific to one platform then please fill out this form and e-mail it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To report any other bug, fill out the form below and e-mail it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you not only found the problem but solved it and generated a patch then e-mail it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead. Please use the command "diff -c" to generate the patch. You may also enter a bug report at http://www.postgresql.org/ instead of e-mail-ing this form. ============================================================================ POSTGRESQL BUG REPORT TEMPLATE ============================================================================ Your name : Alexis Wilke Your email address : [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : trust me, doesn't matter Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : trust me, doesn't matter PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.0): since PostgreSQL-6.5.x and still in the code Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : trust me, doesn't matter Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ It crashes when pg_database is too large. This is because the index is compare to max with <= instead of <. I already fixed the bug on my system. That's at line Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a concise reproducible example, if at all possible: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Create many database (or create/destroy the same many times). Once the pg_database is more than one page (is 16Kb or more) then it starts crashing. (may not crash on all systems, but trust me, my fix will work GREAT). If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, so go in the following file: ./src/backend/utils/misc/database.c and move to the line #183 (V7.0.1) There, fix the for() as is: for(i = 0; i < max; i++) Why? Well, because 'i' starts at 0, therefore, you can't access the tuple number 'max'. If you look in other source files, you will quickly see that all these for() loops are starting with an index of 1 and use some special functions/macros to access the tuple data. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
