Please turn logging to debug level under File->Options, retry the
connection and then check/send the logfile over.

Wow, not sure how that got missed. Will fix.

The Maintenance DB is the database that pgAdmin first connects to.
Unlike some DBMSs, all PostgreSQL connections must be made to a
database, you cannot connect and then select a database. This database
is normally 'postgres' in PostgreSQL 8.1+, prior to that, template1 was
generally used.

[pgadmin-support] line number in error output

2006-04-05 Thread Chris Velevitch
I'm using Windows version 1.4.2 on Win XP sp1.

When I get an error in executing a sql code, I get

 ERROR:  syntax error at or near "45183" at character 5848

There is no line number included. Such information would make very
easy to locate the offending code.

The error messages comes from PostgreSQL so we cannot change it. pgAdmin
looks at the character number though and bungs a marker in the left
margin to highlight the offending line in your code.

[pgadmin-support] Create db problem

2006-04-05 Thread Mauro Bertoli
Hi, I've some strange behaviours managing databases:

- if I want create a new db from a postgres console
(psql) I MUST have all pgAdmin clients closed (because
'maintenance db' lock postgres db)

- using pgAdmin I cannot create a new db using the
connected db as template

Thank you

That's why PostgreSQL 8.1 has the 'postgres' database so apps like
pgAdmin no longer use template1.

You can only create a DB using a connected DB as a template if you
create the database /from/ that template dattabase, and that is the only
connection to that database.

[pgadmin-support] ERROR: permission denied for schema public

2006-04-05 Thread Chris Velevitch
I'm using Windows version 1.4.2 on Win Xp Sp1.

I've just pg_dump a database and when I open the file and run it, I get:-

 ERROR:  permission denied for schema public

but I don't know what it's referring to. There is no marker indicating
the offending line.

What does this mean?

[pgadmin-support] rename database

I'm using windows version 1.4.2 on Win XP sp1 and pg 7.4.11.

I can't rename a database because I get an error saying it's in use,
but I'm the only one using it. So how do I do it?

How does that work with localized server messages, how does pgAdmin 
handle them? I get a partly translated error message from the server:


NAPAKA:  napaka v sintaksi at or near "form" pri znaku 11

pgAdmin does not put any markers in the left margin here.

[pgadmin-support] pgAgent problems

2006-04-05 Thread Benjamin Krajmalnik
I am having problems with pgAgent.
I installed the seervice with the following 
command:
 
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin>"C:\Program 
Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin\pgAgent" INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p postgres -t 60 
hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres
 
In the services, the path to executable is set as 
follows:
 
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin\pgAgent RUN 
pgAgent -t 60 hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres
 
The directory where pgAgent is located is not on 
the path.
 
I scheduled a job - everything looks 
correct.
The job shows up as scheduled for the next 
execution time.
I checked the pgagent schema in the postgres 
database (which is the one specified in the connection), and I see the job, 
steps, etc.
 
The information for the job is as 
follows:
Name:  ishield - calculate control 
limits
ID: 2
Enabled: yes
Host Agent:  left blank
Job Class: Data Summarisation
Created: 4/5/2006 10:06:26 AM

Changed: 4/5/2006 10:06:26 AM
Next run: 4/5/2006 12:00:00 PM
Last Run:  blank
Last result: unknown
Running at: Not Currently Running
Comment: 
 
This job should have run at 12.  It is already past the scheduled time 
and the job has not run.
Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.
The windows event log shows the service as having started successfully, but 
I see no additional logging.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Benjamin

If you reinstall the service with –l 2 as an extra option, then schedule a new job there should be a load of extra debug data in the event log to tell us what’s going wrong. 

One thing that does spring to mind is that you didn’t mention how the agent authenticates to the database – have you setup a pgpass.conf file in your postgres user’s %APPDATA% directory, or granted trusted access in pg_hba.conf?

Regards, Dave.
 
 
 








[pgadmin-support] Current database

2006-04-05 Thread Chris Velevitch
I'm using windows version 1.4.2 on Win XP Sp1.

Right-clicking a non current database makes it current. Why? I'm
trying to rename the database but I can't because you can't rename the
current database.

How do you make a database non-current?
