With this, I assume it used the account "postgres", because that's the
default. The question that remains is did this account exist before you
started, or not?

They obviously haven't "tested" anything --- they are merely reading the

resolved in 8.0.4.

Thanks for your support with this. I had presented the IT support team

CVEs/bugs were resolved in previous versions to 8.0.4 and they suddenly 
argued that it wasn’t the CVE’s that were the problem (without admitting 
that they never really tested 8.0.4 in the first place)… I’m sorry if I 
wasted anybody’s time or irritated anyone by assuming that these bugs 
were actually valid in 8.0.4… I’m starting to get tied up in a bunch of 
bureaucratic tape dealing with these people. I think their just scared 
of having to deal with the support overhead they think they'll have to 
assume if they introduce another DBMS on their network…

This may be not a direct step to solve the problem, but let's get some 
feelings first:

Is 43471 a temp table? To find out this: "select relname, nspname from 
pg_class, pg_namespace where pg_namespace.oid=pg_class.relnamespace and 
relfilenode = 43471;"

It looks like your client guesses out the right frontend protocol version 
after several tries, then stick to this version and continue.

But the strange thing is that you are using 8.0.4, why the fatal message is 
not with this format:
"FATAL: unsupported frontend protocol %u.%u: server supports %u.0 to 
%u.%u"

[BUGS] BUG #2065: Problem with language conversion in pg_dump

2005-11-22 Thread Wim Audenaert

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:  2065
Logged by:  Wim Audenaert
Email address:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0.2
Operating system:   Windows XP
Description:Problem with language conversion in pg_dump
Details: 

I have a database created with encoding UTF8 while I used SQL_ASCII for the
installation of Postgres 8.1.0. 

When I try to do a pg_dump of my database, I get the following error
message:

pg_dump: SQL command failed
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR:  cache lookup failed for function
170
39
pg_dump: The command was: SELECT tableoid, oid, adnum,
pg_catalog.pg_get_expr(ad
bin, adrelid) AS adsrc FROM pg_catalog.pg_attrdef WHERE adrelid =
'23268'::pg_ca
talog.oid

I looked for the function 17039 in the pg_proc table, and this function
doesn't exist. It does exists in an older version of the database (8.0). 

I tried to use the encoding parameter in pg_dump, but without success.

What can I do resolve this problem?

if i try this quary from the postgresql quary tool i have no problems but
when i activate this quary from C# DataAdapter.Fill
i only get the value of the first 6 columns and the others are null.
 
 i tried a quary with listting the columns names.
 i tried a quary with different columns order.
 the DataRow that i get as a result from the fill methode with that quary
contains the actual number of columns but all the columns from the seven'th
one has null as a value.

I'm not sure how you managed that, but I'm sure that it's entirely
unrelated to the database's encoding.

Do you still have the dump file that you used to move from 8.0 to 8.1?
If so, what does it show as the declaration for this table?

Hmm, I see that utf8_to_tcvn() doesn't seem to be there anymore, but
whether that's a bug in itself is for someone else to answer (Tatsuo?).
What I'm wondering about is how a reference to a nonexistent function
OID got into your new database.  There is no case in which pg_dump
should reference a function by OID.

[BUGS] Incorrect column identifer using AS in SELECT statement on a VIEW.

2005-11-22 Thread Hayden James
If I create a normal table and a normal view that queries that table I
get incorrect results when I query the view using the AS alias in the
select statement.  For example, if I create the following objects:

CREATE TABLE Test1( col1 VARCHAR(200) );
CREATE VIEW Test2 AS SELECT col1 FROM Test1 ORDER BY col1;

then I do a SELECT col1 AS something FROM Test2;  The column identifier comes back as "col1" instead of "something".




Re: [BUGS] strange disappearence of postgres file

2005-11-22 Thread Harald Armin Massa
Quingqing,

no, it is definitely NOT a temp table. I know which table it is, because:

that "could not open relation ..." error message was exactly provokable
with "select * from repofeld", which is one of my tables in that
database.

(And that was the way it was passed on to me: my application put that error on screen)
