The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:  1238
Logged by:  A Wu

Email address:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta

Operating system:   Linux 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 x86_64

Description:postgres option -Q used in src/test/bench

Details: 

src/test/bench/create.sh and src/test/bench/runwisc.sh both invoke 
"postgres" with a -Q option which is not supported in 8.0 Beta1. Deleting -Q 
from both files allows the scripts to run to completion.

These scripts really need to be thrown away or rewritten entirely.
Benchmarks against a standalone backend are not interesting in the real
world.  I doubt anyone has tried to run these in the past five years...

[BUGS] Change Request

2004-09-01 Thread Bert Blink
Hi
I am a Tutor who teaches SQL and I like to be familiar with all Relational 
DBs and their SQL variants.

I run WinXP HE under a single Account name and would like to install and 
use PostgreSQL.  I have downloaded a version of PostgreSQL from 
http://pgfoundry.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=107&release_id=48 
and at present have installed V7.5.

My problem:-
(1) I don't want to use the "Install as a service" option as I do not want 
more than one account on my machine.

(2) So I installed PostgreSQL by unchecking the "Install as a service" 
option.  The problem now is I can't start PostgreSQL because I get the 
following error "execution of PostgreSQL by a user with administrative 
permissions is not permitted.  The server must  ".

This appears to be a Catch22 situation.
All I want is to install PostgreSQL as a WinXP Service and as a user with 
admin privileges be able to stop & start the PostgreSQL service.  This is 
how I have both Oracle & MySQL installed.  These are just WinXP services 
which are stopped by default and when I want to use them I just start the 
appropriate services and then use an appropriate GUI to run SQL.

Is there some chance you could change your install package so that :-
(1) I can install PostgreSQL as a service without having to create a new 
Account Name & Password

OR
(2) by pass install as a service but allow anyone to start the service?

(1) I can install PostgreSQL as a service without having to create a new
Account Name & Password
why not?   Its *VERY* standard procedure on all sorts of systems to run 
RDBMS servers as a dedicated user.

there are all kinda system accounts already in XP used by various system 
services, whats one more?  note, these are *NOT* regular user accounts, they 
don't typically show up on the "Welcome" login screen.   instead of the 
stupified Control Panel -> User Accounts, try admin tools -> computer 
management -> local users and groups, which is the *real* NT Users panel...
