That is logical, but this is not what the spec tells. This is exactly what the spec calles for. The spec, at least 1.1, says very little about what should not be in the header. For an XML request, it should carry. It is very particular about soap header attributes, but header contents is very flexable.

[HACKERS] Dangling backends on win32 7.2.1 port (peerdirect).
I have been testing the postgresql Peer Direct port. I've used both the released binary and my own compiled version and get the same behavior. Please not that this is for testing purposes and I am not asking for support. I'm running an import routine which moves records from a cobol database to postgres. This is strictly an import routine, where all queries are serialized. The postgres.conf file is set to defaults, except for fsync=false and the change in the WAL setting (see below). All sql statements are made using the libpq interface, and are simply create table followed by create index... followed by insert (repeat). Table sizes range from 0 to about 300k records, and there about 100 tables. Most of the tables have at least 10 fields, and all of the tables have at least one index, usually several. The client and the server are running on the same machine. There is no other activity on the database, and the import does not use transactions of any kind. About once in every 3000-5000 inserts, a new backend gets created without the previous one getting shut down. About 75% of the way though the process, too many backends get created and the import fails. The first time through, postmaster is reporting things like: DEBUG: Removing transaction log file 00 DEBUG: XLogWrite: new log file created - consider increasing WAL_FILES Other times, I get the more ominous DEBUG: rename from C:\postgres\peer_direct\data/pg_xlog/0003 to C:\postgres\peer_direct\data/pg_xlog/000A (initialization of log file 0, segment 10) failed: Permission denied. If this happens about 10 times I will have about 7 backends up with 6 doing nothing and only 44k memory allocated for each. Killing the client app kills all the backends. The second time through I tried increasing the WAL files from 0 to eight. This did remove the XLogWrite: messages but did not fix the problem. There is not much point in turning fsync on because this would take too long. I could get the data in very easily with a preformatted copy, but I thought I'd pass this information along!

The ones I've dealt with chose to set int = 32bits, long = 64bits. If they don't do that then they have a problem with not having any native C 32bit type (and promoting short int up to 32 bits just moves the problem...)

Out of curiousity, what is the purpose of putting the qry:ROWSET description into the message at all (header or not)?

I freely admit to not being a soap expert, but similar SOAP messages I generate from queries seem to work fine without this metadata.

Re: [HACKERS] PostgreSQL and SOAP, suggestions?
I can certainly imagine cases for processing where having the field names and other metadata up front (maybe add type info, nullable, etc instead of just "undefined") would be useful. here's another question: If the intention is to use field names as (local) tag names, how will you handle the case where the field name isn't a valid XML name? Of course, one could do some sort of mapping (replace illegal chars with "_", for example) but then you can't be 100% certain that you haven't generated a collision, I should think. andrew - Original Message - From: "Steve Wampler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "mlw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Hannu Krosing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Postgres-hackers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 12:40 PM Subject: Re: [HACKERS] PostgreSQL and SOAP, suggestions? > Out of curiousity, what is the purpose of putting the qry:ROWSET > description into the message at all (header or not)?

I have been simply doing a %hex translation on characters that do not conform to XML, that may actually be "good enough(tm)." As for the field names being undefined, if you can find a way to get the field types without having to specify a binary cursor I'd like that. Admitedly, I have not looked very hard.

Killing the > client app kills all the backends. OK, I read the readme file and saw the note about the permission denied error, so I'm not crazy. However, there was no mention of the extra processes which seems to me to be a catastrophic side affect. The processes appear to be waiting on some sort of lock on the transaction files, and seem to be in some sort of limbo until the original connection is closed. I can create very reasonable conditions which will take a database down within a few hours. Has this been fixed? If not, I'm prepared to start slogging it out. The way I see it, a production database is 100% likely to shut down within a very short period of time (hours) unless special care is taken to reset all the database connections or at least TerminateProcess() dormant processes (yuck!). I know the peerdirect patches are being applied to the cvs version. Aside from this problem and the very silly divide by zero error, the win32 port has been very well behaved, with decent, if not great, performance.

That function looks great, but what happens if you need to return 1 million records? Wouldn't you exhaust all the memory in the server? Or can you stream it somehow? I have an actual libpq program which performs a query against a server, and will stream out the XML, so the number of records has very little affect on efficiency. I think the table2xml function is great for 99% of all the queries, but for those huge resultsets, I think it may be problematic. What do you think?

[HACKERS] View definition formatting
Hi all, When using pg_get_viewdef(oid), the view definition is returned in a reconstructed form (I assume) with all formatting removed. This is a pain for apps like pgAdmin, that allow the user to edit their views, particularly with very large ones. Would it be possible and sensible to store the original view definition for future use, such as we do for functions? Perhaps a new catalog (pg_source?) could store these and other definitions such as rules for use?

That is because if the rule/view is broken due to other > schema changes, the reconstruction might fail. Given the dependency mechanism in 7.3, it should no longer be possible to break a rule that way. Of course, there are cases where you'd wish the rule to *change* not just reject the update. The major problem with any such proposal is that source-form storage has its own set of inflexibilities. For example, we can currently allow renaming of tables and columns that underlie a view, because the stored form of the view doesn't contain those names and so it doesn't need to change. If we store source text then we'd have to forbid such renaming --- or else update the source text, which seems to require parsing, adjustment of parsed tree, deparsing; which rather defeats the purpose of Dave's request. There are even more subtle problems: the source text may be ambiguous in some way, so that reparsing it today might not generate the identical intepretation to what you had before. Even "a+b" is ambiguous given the possibility that user-defined operators could be added, or the search path changed. Deparsing compensates for this by producing (or at least trying to produce) a representation that is correct and unambiguous in the current context. One reason I'm disillusioned with this idea is that we do take the trouble to store both source and internal form of column default expressions, but in practice pg_attrdef.adsrc has fallen into disuse. That track record doesn't bode well for adding source-form storage of other things. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
