Re: [GENERAL] Problem with GRANT in 7.4.19

2008-03-13 Thread Kakoli Sen
Hi,

This time the command GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "casDatabase" to
tester; did not give error.

But the permission is still not there. I run the following commands :

psql -d casDatabase -U tester -W. Then \z command shows empty Access
Privileges on all tables.

Also select * from table_name; gives error :

ERROR:  permission denied for relation table_name

Regards,

Kakoli

[GENERAL] Problem with GRANT in 7.4.19

2008-03-13 Thread Kakoli Sen
Dear all,
 The command GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE casDatabase to tester;
is giving error:
ERROR:  database "casdatabase" does not exist.(Note that the db name in
error is all in lower case).

Also \l shows that casDatabase  exists.
Why is 'casDatabase' being changed to 'casdatabase'?

Regards,
Kakoli.

Re: [GENERAL] Problem with starting PostgreSQL server 7.4.19

2008-03-11 Thread Kakoli Sen
Hi,
Actually, I tried stopping server by 'kill `cat
/opt/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`. This did not work. So I used kill -9 on Red
Hat 4.

This is a test database where we are in the process of setting up. So it
does not have live data. Still I do agree, it was not a good idea.

Now, do I have to re-install PostgreSQL or is there any way out?

Server configuration is default. Only change from default is allowing tcp/ip
connections.

Regards,

Kakoli

[GENERAL] Problem with starting PostgreSQL server 7.4.19

2008-03-11 Thread Kakoli Sen
Hello all,
It was running fine initially and the database was lying idle for a
few days. Today I looged into the machine and restarted the server by
killing the process by 'kill -9 pid'. And then restarted it by
'postmaster -i -D /opt/pgsql/data/'.
Then it gives the following error on stdout :

LOG:  database system was interrupted at 2008-03-06 14:15:17 IST
LOG:  record with incorrect prev-link 1/0 at 0/A4EB08
LOG:  invalid primary checkpoint record
LOG:  record with incorrect prev-link 42FD/0 at 0/A4EAC8
LOG:  invalid secondary checkpoint record
PANIC:  could not locate a valid checkpoint record
LOG:  startup process (PID 3388) was terminated by signal 6
LOG:  aborting startup due to startup process failure


What is the problem? It was running fine all this time.

I have to use an older version for it to be used with another software. So
changing versions is not feasible.

Thanks & Regards,

Kakoli

[GENERAL] Initdb failed in PostgreSQL 7.3.21

2008-02-18 Thread Kakoli Sen
Hi,
I install PostgreSQL 7.3.21 successfully with sudo and could start
the postmaster as sudo.

  Then I want to initialise my own db as unprivileged user. I run the
following commands:

root# mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# chown kakolis /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# su kakolis
kakolis$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data.

The last command gives the following output:
Fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/local/pgsql/data... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/global... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog... ok
creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1...
initdb failed.

Where is the problem?

Regards,

Kakoli
