[GENERAL] insert BLOB

1999-10-14 Thread David Lanier
I'm relatively new to Postgres. I'd like some help setting up a BLOB (binary large object) field to hold images, and more importantly, inserting data (images) into it. We're using version 6.5.1. I tried this: CREATE TABLE images (imagefield blob); but I got an error, stating "Unable to locate

A lot of this has come up recently. Bruce, perhaps you can add a TODO like this: * Completely rethink authentication. I have some ideas (think tcpd), but I have way too many ideas and too little time these days :( -Peter On Thu, 14 Oct 1999, Mark Jewiss wrote: > Hello, > > Similar to

Re: [GENERAL] Can you write into a view?

1999-10-14 Thread Brook Milligan
Hello, I'm a new into the postgres's world, and I was seeing the User's Guide from V.6.4 and I saw that you can write into a View. In the new versions can you? If not, have any body any idea of when it would be reality? You can do so now. Just create a ON INSERT rule for the view.

Virtues of SP: 1) speed - no reparsing of queries, no multiple queries transmitted between application and db (if SP not available, operation is a sequence of sql operations). 2) Business Logic is enforced uniformly, not re-implemented in every app that touches a table. Drawbacks of SP: 1) S

Hello, I agree with this point of view : the granularity of the authentication is not small enough to allow a good setup of access security to the PG databases. I plan to setup a database backed web servers : * the databases are stored on one Linux box, * the Apache servers are on another, * all
