Hi Tom, Below is an extract from a truss of the psql login, looks fine to me, I used the same source to build the Solaris client as I used for building the linux server, I have also installed the client on a separate Linux server and get the same results. I've tried using ident,md5 and trust

Hi Tom, Nope nothing silly, just trying to get a command line connection.. Am I maybe missing some kind of default logicals ? Am I correct in thinking that apart from compiling the client from source I don't need to modify any of the conf files ? The fact that I get the same result from a L

Thanks also to Tom and Robert - excellent advice thanks very much. I will now do as suggested & check out the version release notes - for 7.4 latest patch, and plan for upgrade to this version for the immediate future. We will probably be most interested in looking at 8.1 + as the next port so wi

Hi, I'd like to run psql on a remote machine. For security, there won't be login access granted for ssh sessions but we'd like to test various SPs and so forth. What is the minimum I have to install on to the remote machine so that I can connect with psql -h remote ? Cheers Mike -

Hi, We are in the process of moving from PostgreSQL 7.3.3 to 7.3.6 (Red Hat). However, we are having a number of problems importing the database schema. Some of the SPs are written in TCL and it would seem that the library has changed. In the dump of the schema we have (comments removed for brevi

Tom, Thanks for that. It appears that the tcl support is there. However, the lib now appears to be called: ./usr/lib/libpgtcl.so Is this the same? I couldn't find documentation concerning the change in file. If so then can I just edit the schema? Cheers Mike -Original Message- From:
