That's because typically before anyone can even draw a breath someone has jumped on the user and they've re-posted into the more appropriate forum. In the case of both installers and pgAdmin though, I can say with absolute certainty that there are at least 3 developers from each that read this list daily - we just happen to all be East-pondians so don't always respond in the timeframe that you might. > Or to put it another way, if someone had written back any time in the > 13 days between when this email was posted and today and said "thanks > for the report - will look into it", I wouldn't have replied. No idea what happened to the original message in this thread - the first I saw was your response. In any case - I stand by my comments. For projects that are closely affiliated with PostgreSQL we should not be chastising users for reporting bugs here, we should make it easy, not difficult, embarrassing and annoying for users to give feedback. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

I never got that email message. Something is wrong with this mailing list. In the case of the email that started this discussion, you never saw the original email message, and in this case, I never saw your reply. That's bad. >> BUG #5337: PostgreSQL install fails with 1603 error > > That's a PG 8.2/MSI issue, which is why none of the EDB guys > responded.

There, look - > now see what you made me do :-( You know, I never really thought we did before, but I had the same thought last night. One of the problems with "don't worry about what product it is, just post here" is that it only works if people from all of those products regularly monitor this list, which in turn requires them to skip over the issues with all the other products that they don't know or care about. An actual bug-tracking system would let us classify bugs by product, which would in theory help with this problem. Even consider ecpg. It's part of core PostgreSQL, so undeniably on topic for this list, but it's asking a lot for Michael Meskes to read everything that goes by on this list just to catch the 2 or 3 ecpg problems that get reported each year. Of course, if the people working on those projects don't monitor the bug-tracking system, then we'll have the same problem with non-response that we do today - maybe worse, since at least now we can refer people who don't get an answer to another forum. Another problem is that any solution we picked would have to be acceptable to the people who do actively monitor this list. It would be bad if changing to a different system resulted in bugs getting less attention. But practically speaking, I'd guess there's less than 20 people who respond to most of the traffic on -bugs, so if we find a solution that those people like, we'd be better off. We'd also have fewer problems with things slipping through the cracks. Things might still get ignored, but at least the system would be keeping track of that instead of Bruce and I. Momjzilla/Haaszilla has a catchy ring to it but it's not a very efficient way to run a project. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

[BUGS] About “context-switching issue on Xeon” te st case ?

[BUGS] initdb stores default client_encoding from environment-variable
initdb stores default client_encoding from environment-variable Postgres Version: 8.4.3 and 8.3.6 Operating System: Sun Solaris 5.10 and SuseEnterprise 9 When a database is initialized with the initdb-command, the default client_enconding, which will be stored in the DB, depends on the value of the environment-variable PGCLIENTENCODING at the time of running initdb. This behaviour is not documented. Furthermore I didn't find a command to change this default client_encoding in the database later. The default client_encoding does not depend on the database encoding! This is a small shell-script to show this behaviour. #!/bin/bash -x # PGHOST="localhost" PGPORT=7654 PGDATABASE=postgres PGUSER=postgres export PGHOST PGPORT PGDATABASE PGUSER export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib binpath=/usr/local/pgsql/bin dir=/data/DB-2 $binpath/pg_ctl stop -D $dir/pg-base -m fast -o '-p 7654' # # remove Database # rm -r $dir/pg-base 2> /dev/null sleep 1 mkdir $dir/pg-base 2> /dev/null PGCLIENTENCODING="WIN1250" export PGCLIENTENCODING $binpath/initdb --encoding=UTF8 -D $dir/pg-base $binpath/pg_ctl start -D $dir/pg-base -l $dir/pg-server.log -o '-p 7654' sleep 5 unset PGCLIENTENCODING # IMPORTANT !! $binpath/psql -c "select version();" $binpath/psql -c "show client_encoding;" -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

I don't know whether the bottleneck is on our end (the emails go through many anti-spam filters before they reach me, and I know they sometimes fall behind). The other issue which has caused me to see replies to messages I missed is that some of the posters here are going through SMTP servers on networks segments which have been blacklisted as sources of spam. Since I have things configured to not send me duplicates when the post is to me and a list (or to multiple lists), if a blacklisted user copies me directly I don't get anything. When I identify such a user I let them know and get them whitelisted on my end, but that's hit or miss. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
