Just A note on Linux. I consider Linux on the same level as Windows. I have been able to crash it (kernel 2.4.18) just as well and the lib C API is nowhere near complete or fault tolerant to any commercial OS. For the moment nothing beats SCO Openserver/Unixware stability on PC. These are OS

Yes I proposed to use the GNU Pth library instead. It's an event demultiplexer just like the sgi library, but has a posix thread interface. This architecture is actually the more robust and also the more scalable. On a single processor server, you don't have the multi-thread synchronization and co

[HACKERS] timeout implementation issues

I also want to implement the same feature but for ecpg. On  INFORMIX there is the following syntax to control timeouts: SET LOCK MODE TO [WAIT [seconds] | NO WAIT]   There is 2 possibilities: - either the pre-processor implements execution of the statement with the asynchronous functions. T

[HACKERS] How to know whether a table is locked ?

I read a thread about table lock timeout but don't know whether anything has been done about it.   Here is what I'd like to do: I don't want my transactions to be on hold for too long so I'd like to use a syntax I use on INFORMIX already: SET LOCK MODE TO [WAIT [second] | NOT WAIT] I'm using

[HACKERS] Informix to PostgreSQL (JDBC)

For the next release and package it would be good to differentiate the release candidate to the proper release. (7.2.1 had the same name and it can be confusing). a suffix postgresql-7.3-RCN.tar.gz is enough to make the difference between different verisons of release candidates and the final rele

Here is the description:   When a macro is replaced by the preprocessor, pgc.l reaches a end of file, which is not the actual end of the file. One side effect of that is that if you are in a ifdef block, you get a wrong error telling you that a endif is missing.   This patch corrects pgc.l an
