hi!
Did you rename start page of PostgreSQL site from index.shtml to
index.html by an accident or with some special purpose?
It is very important to maintainers of mirrors,'cause we used to begin

I just did a relatively major cleanup of the WWW site, and am
looking for feedback.
Bsically, I was growing tired of looking at the site, and
constantly reloading the same data over and over again (the 'index' on the
left, for starters).
I think the new format looks okay

The pg_dump command does not work properly on my data because I have \'s
in it.
Therefore, to back up my database, I was thinking of doing the
following:
mv $PGDATA/base/ /
Would it work if I then move back to $PGDATA/base ? Or are
there dependencies that could affect this?

I knew I needed to check my work before bringing the ODBC driver problems
out in the open. Here's what I've found.

an external data source to a PostgreSQL database just to make sure

Originally it was just Postgres, and didn't support any SQL. When it was
redesigned with SQL support, that's when the SQL postfix came about.

You want an honest answer? We don't. Or, at least, we don't
think of it as meeting a challenge.

Is anyone running PostgreSQL on Rhapsody (aka Mac OS X Server) yet?
And, if so, did you have any problems getting it up and running?
Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I checked libpq, and just to follow up, it is quite
easy to get the oid of the last insert using the routine oidStatus.
