[BUGS] building Postgresql in Windows XP

2009-02-18 Thread Md. Abdur Rahman

Dear Sir,
I am trying to build PostGreSql from 
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v8.3.6/. However, I am unable to 
find any complete step by step document how to build it in windows xp. I 
would be grateful to you if you could point me any URL that can guide me 
toward a successful compiling of the database.


I want to thank you in advance

Sincerely yours
Md. ABdur Rahman

Thank you. I have managed to install postgre by setting rights to PostgreSQL
folder in ProgramFiles. So solution to this problem is either use different
installer or set the rights.

If you really need to build from source you should look at:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/install-win32.html

however I would recommend you install postgresql using the binary 
installer on windows.

[BUGS] Could not start service on 2003 when postgres user in administrators group

2009-02-18 Thread Neftin, Slava
Hi,

I saw that Postgres is supporting to run with user with administrative 
permissions.
There is a code that dropping administrative privileges ad startup.
However, I see that when I am changing "postgres" user to be as part of 
"Administrators" group, starting of service fails with error in Event's Log:
"could not open process token: error code 5".
When I am running in XP everything is OK, but in 2003 it fails.

I see that the error is logged from "postgres.exe" process when 
OpenProcessToken call fails.

Is it a bug? Please assist what can be done to overcome it?

Thanks in advance,
Slava Neftin



[BUGS] BUG #4664: \o does not allow successive output to be appended

2009-02-18 Thread Brent Wood

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:  4664
Logged by:  Brent Wood
Email address:  pcr...@pcreso.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.16
Operating system:   SLES, OpenSuse
Description:\o does not allow successive output to be appended
Details: 

The \o command to capture output to a fike will overwrite any existing file.
I have users here wishing to accumulate \o output in a file. Perhaps a \o+
option could be provided to allow successive output to be appended to the
same file?

Tom Lane suggested \o | cat >> file as a workaround.

I know this is not a bug, but I couldn't find anywhere to submit a wishlist
item, only pages listing existing items.
