 7.2's initdb is a bit broken in this respect --- you won't see that

 7.3, though.

  how can i know that my db using specific locale ?

 See contrib/pg_controldata if you want to be sure.

  what cab be the couse that l_name ~* '[[::]](xyz)[[::]]' dont work

 Perhaps the regex support is missing info about this particular locale.

VMware and competing products

2002-10-01 Thread Omer Zak

I work in an environment, in which I edit and pre-process various source
code files under Linux, and compile them using several SDKs, which work
with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Each SDK expects to be the only one installed in a PC, because those SDKs
were not designed to coexist in peace.

In order to reduce the number of physical PCs required, I'd like to use
software, which implements several virtual PCs in the same physical PC.

In other words:  use software like VMware.

Before investing money and time buying and deploying VMware, I'd like to
know if this is the best alternative existing today, are there other
alternatives, do people have good experience with the current version
(VMware Workstation 3.2, according to http://www.vmware.com/)?

If you are adventerous, you can try plex86. It's far from 1.0, but
sometimes works. I haven't tried it, but I am on the ML, watching
the progress (which slowed down considerably, since Mandrake fired
one of the developers, which worked for them full-time on plex86).
BTW, it's closely related to bochs (that others mentioned) - they
try to share code of relevant things (things that are emulated,
rather than virtualized).
BTW, it's freeware.

Options (Re: VMware and competing products)

2002-10-01 Thread Omer Zak

Thanks to Marc de'Terrible, Shimon Panfil, Martin Polley, Yedidyah
Bar-David and Aviram Jenik for their answers to my previous E-mail
message.

According to a brief Web surfing session, the options are:
Bochs - a Free emulator - not suitable for my needs, because it is
emulator and not virtualizer (i.e. very slow).
plex86 - a Free virtualizer - suitable for people, who want to develop it
rather than use it as a reliable tool for their own work.
For me to use it, would be like using a 2.5.* kernel for my
regular development work.
VMware - Workstation 3.2 costs $299 per license, and 30-day free
evaluation is available.  Some people recommend it.
Can use Linux based host.
VirtualPC (http://www.connectix.com) - Virtual PC5 for Windows costs $229,
There is no information about a version running under Linux host,
but I sent them an E-mail message asking about this.

At the risk of being off-topic, is there anyone who has used VirtualPC and
can tell about his/her experience with it?

And, are there any other options, which I overlooked?
 --- Omer
There is no IGLU Cabal.  However, instructions how to virtualize one can
be found in Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy.

If I understand correctly, you're interested in long, non-interactive,
compilations, not in interactive development (which you say you're doing
on a Linux machine anyway).

In this case, why do you need at all to concurrently run several copies of
Windows? If you're *sure* you can't install the two SDKs at the same time,
why not write a script that will copy files around to switch the SDKs?
Perhaps (if it's not too slow) even install/uninstall them every time
automatically. If that can't work, and compilations are to be long enough
(or you don't care about turnaround time), you can keep two Windows partitions
and reboot to switch compilers.

 If I understand correctly, you're interested in long, non-interactive,
 compilations, not in interactivedevelopment (which you say you're doing

Actually, my situation is:
1. The compilations are short (few minutes long for the entire project).
2. The SDKs contain also emulators, which I sometimes use to test the
   compiled software.

 In this case, why do you need at all to concurrently run several copies of
 Windows? If you're *sure* you can't install the two SDKs at the same time,
 why not write a script that will copy files around to switch the SDKs?

The SDKs use separate file namespaces.  The conflicts are in the Registry
and environment variables.

 Perhaps (if it's not too slow) even install/uninstall them every time
 automatically. If that can't work, and compilations are to be long enough
 (or you don't care about turnaround time), you can keep two Windowspartitions
 and reboot to switch compilers.

I don't care about the time it takes to switch from one SDK to another
SDK, but the installation/uninstallation processes are not automated.

The suggestion to dedicate a Windows partition to each SDK may work, if it
is possible to hide all unwanted partitions when rebooting the machine to
use a certain SDK.  We'd have to partition the machine to have the
maximum allowed number of partitions, to have room for future SDKs, but
this can be done in the era of 80GB hard disks.

I like the idea of using VMware (or a similar product) due to other
reasons, but it will be nice to save money if we can get by without using
VMware.

use vmware, and forget about anything else. for 300$, you get something 
that works, that gets further developed, that works quite well, and with a 
near-current CPU will work fast enough for your needs (any p-III 700Mhz or 
above would make it almost invisible).

the support for 'undo' of file system changes is valuable with software 
that might corrupt the system, as well as with testing installation 
scripts. saving on those 300$ is a simple waste of time, and other 
products don't tend to come near what VMWare does.

at my former workplace, VMWare was used to test installatin procedures - 
they had several operating system copies with it, and it saved a lot of 
time for developers.

btw, just to add to the confusion, you always have the option of using 
norton ghost to save a copy of partitions, and install and delete them 
when needed - it takes about 5 minutes to recover a typical windows 2000 
installation (10 minutes if done over a network). but this is quite 
inferior relative to the time it takes booting an OS under VMWare.

vmware boot from ISO

its no news that since vmware 3.0 there's an option availabe to boot a VM from 
an ISO image .
the question is : what if you've booted from an ISO image, and you need to 
switch cd's during an install process ?

if anyone has a solution for that, please share.
