[ADMIN] ssl with pem password

2005-07-25 Thread Luca Stancapiano
hi.I'm trying to use postgresql in mode ssl and I would to use a
private key that uses a pem password.  When I launch postgres with
postgres user and my server.key and server.crt in my home ,in this mode:

echo password | /usr/bin/postmaster -il -p '5432' -D '/home/data'

I see this message:

Enter PEM pass phrase


but I would a thing more automatic without that password request. Is it
possible?

If you want the server to launch without a password, you have to alter
the server key file to remove its password.  See the documentation.

The above is hardly a more-secure approach, since anyone who can look at
the script (or happen to see the "echo" executing in ps) can find out
the password.  You might as well rely on file permissions to prevent
people from getting at the password-less key file.

sorry but I would really to use the key with password because I use a gpg
system that hide the real passwordIt's possible with postgres to use a
thing like this?

echo crypted_password | /usr/bin/postmaster -il -p '5432' -D '/home/data'

Re: [ADMIN] Server side development

2005-07-25 Thread Mogin Mohandas
Hi
   I had just posted a query about adding a new data type to
postgres. This is a follow-up on that. I checked the include
directtory under my source but did not find postgres.h and fmgr.h.
These are needed for the input and output functions. Anybody have any
ideas.
Thank you

[ADMIN] server side extension

2005-07-25 Thread Mogin Mohandas
Hi
 I was trying to built a new base data type into postgres. i am
using 7.4.8 on debian. There is already an eg in src/tutorial which
gives code for intenal and external functions of a new type called
complex. I tried to create a shared library for the file complex.c
using  "cc -fpic -c complex.c" and "cc -shared -o complex.so
complex.c".  That gave me a lot of errors like the header files 
"fmgr.h" and "postgres.h" did not exist. I did a "make" anyway.
   After that I went into postgres and tried to
create the functions corresponding to the new type. It says the file
complex.so could not be found. So the shared library seems to have not
been created.
When I installed postgres-7.4.8 there was some error when I
gave "make install-all-headers", so I just did "make install". I think
the header files required for server side development are not there
due to that. I think they are still there in the include dir. How do I
use those header files when I make a shared library and compile. If
anybody has created datatypes and defined them please share your
experience.
Thank you
Moginraj

I'm new in postgres. I searched the archives, but I don't find an answer. So
can anybody tell me the explicit size, which a clob or a blob can have in

Thank you,
