I think that's not unrelated to the fact that no one's ever bothered to prepare such documentation ;-) Agreed. On the other hand, the existing layout of the User's Guide encourages a "line per function" approach, which is insufficient for at least some functions. We've worked around that by adding paragraphs below the main table on each page, but that seems a little awkward in many cases. Again I agree. The functions docs are insufficient for most functions I would say. I like the way the Oracle functions are documented, except for the fact that they have one huge page for all functions, which is hard on those on slow connections reading docs online. They have functions in tables grouped per functionality (e.g. character functions that returning character values, character functions returning number values) and with each function name (which is all that is in the table) is linked to a larger explanation of the function with the complete syntax and examples (usually two). http://oradoc.photo.net/ora81/DOC/server.815/a67779/function.htm#1028572 -Roberto -- +| http://fslc.usu.edu USU Free Software GNU/Linux Club|--+ Roberto Mello - Computer Science, USU - http://www.brasileiro.net http://www.sdl.usu.edu - Space Dynamics Lab, Web Developer If it wasn't for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL! ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, it'd be cool to have the User's Guide contain the existing function tables with each entry hotlinked to a more extensive reference entry. We could eliminate some of the nitty-gritty details from the User's Guide that way, which I think is good. I don't want to reduce the function tables to just names a la Oracle --- I think the tables are good as they are.

Offhand I don't see any indication that any of the entries in s_lock.h are supposed to work for Ultrix. On closer look I notice that the putative support for machines without a TEST_AND_SET implementation got broken by careless rearrangement of the declarations in s_lock.h :-(. I have repaired this, and if you update from CVS you should find that things compile. However, you don't really want to run without TEST_AND_SET support; it'll be dog-slow. Furthermore, the support for machines without TEST_AND_SET is fairly new. I doubt it existed when the Ultrix port was last reported to work. So the question above still stands. I suspect that some one of the implementations in s_lock.h was intended to be usable on Ultrix, and we've somehow dropped the declarations needed to make it go. You might want to pull down an old tarball (6.3 or before) and look at how it compiles the s_lock support on Ultrix. Please send in a patch if you find that one is necessary for s_lock support on Ultrix. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

Re: [HACKERS] Escaping strings
what's the postgresql equivalent of mysql_real_escape_string() to escape strings that are going to be passed to queries? There doesn't seem to be a function to do this in libpq, which I find slightly odd. DBD::Pg has quote() function as per usual for perl's DBI, but that's not a lot of help for C. For reference it only doubles single quote characters ' to '' and backslash characters \ to \\. What I do -- and this may not be correct, so I encourage the more knowledgeable to speak up! -- is this: 1. single quotes ' become '' (typical SQL) 2. PostgreSQL supports backslash escape sequences, so unless your input uses these protect \ as \\. 3. I translate nul, formfeed, newline, and carriage return characters to \0, \f, \n, and \r respectively. In comparison mysql_real_escape_string() omits \f but also escapes ^Z and ". For binary data probably other control characters need to be escaped as well. I'm not clear on this yet, but with TOAST in 7.1 I'm sure there'll be more interest in storing arbitary binary data.

[HACKERS] Random make check failures
I'm seeing random failures in the parallel tests run by "make check". Sometimes (40% or so) all tests will succeed. The rest of the time, I will get one or more failures. The specific failures are connection failures: ! psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: Connection refused ! Is the postmaster running locally ! and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.65432'? I tried running pg_regress with --debug to see if it would shed some light on the matter. I didn't see anything in the output indicating what was failing on the backend. I'm running on Solaris 8, with the 2nd update installed. I'm new to postgresql, could someone with some experience give me a few pointers on tracking this one down?

We've heard reports that this goes away if you tweak the pg_regress script to use TCP rather than Unix-socket connections (look for the bit that forces unix_sockets=no). Nobody seems to have any idea why Solaris has a problem with Unix-socket connections ... regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
