[GENERAL] Disconnected but query still running

2015-07-10 Thread Eduardo Piombino
Hi, list. I've been running a query from pgAdmin for a couple of hours, just to realize that the pgAdmin timer that counts ellapsed time had stopped, but the status bar still said "executing".

[GENERAL] feature request - update nowait

2011-09-08 Thread Eduardo Piombino
Hi, would it be possible to implement a *nowait *modifier to the *update*statement in order to tell it not to wait and raise an error -just like a select for update nowait would-, instead of defaulting to waiting forever until the lock becomes available? The lack of such a modifier nowadays forces

Re: [GENERAL] Foreign key check only if not null?

I'm sorry Reid, driving back home I realized that the previous query I suggested didn't do what I was expecting, cause it would compute all of val2 for each val1, even if they belonged to another group (not for a particular val1/date pair), or in other words, to another date. I've considered this

Hi, if you are thinking to access data in that manner, what's the point of bits (or tags)? The idea behind having a value and then using a bitmask is to be able to test the value against different bitmasks, each bitmask corresponding to a different tag or tag combination. The *where *statement yo
