[BUGS] pg_ctl -w option does not behave as documented
PostgreSQL 7.2.1 / SUSE Linux 8.0 According to the output of "pg_ctl --help", the -w option (lowercase) should force the frontend to wait until the postmaster's startup completes. Instead it prompts for a password, as with the (-W) option (uppercase). Ommiting the option, the frontend still blocks until the end of startup. The behavior described is trivial and I won't bother you with unnecessary details. For reproduction, invoke pg_ctl start -w -l somelog -o "-i" -D somecluster and you'll be prompted for a password. This was correctly implemented in version 7.1.3 and may require a change in the invocing scripts when upgrading to version 7.2.1.
[BUGS] createdb rejects both relative and absolute paths with -D
After upgrading the database from 7.2 to 7.2.2 both relative and absolute
paths
are not accepted by either createdb or SQL-CREATE. AFAIK our provider used a
default built.
Using createdb I created databases in custom locations everal times before,
and it
worked ('datenbank/db_cluster' being the relative location of the
database_cluster);
This context-independent output illustrates the problem.
immoma=# create database import with location =
'/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/kunden/web41/datenbank/db_cluster';
ERROR: Absolute paths are not allowed as database locations
immoma=# create database import with location = 'datenbank/db_cluster';
ERROR: Relative paths are not allowed as database locations
The environment is as follows:
Operating System (uname -a):
Linux julius64 2.4.14 #34 Wed Jan 23 17:41:57 MET 2002 i686 unknown
PostgreSQL Version (psql -V)
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.2
(although it should be 7.2.2 according to our provider)
