Re: [ADMIN] UNIX vs Windows LC CTYPE and UPPER mu
service prodat wrote:
first: i hope im right here in this mailing list.
Yes.
My problem:
We have several Postgre servers 9.0.4, one on Windows Server 2008 R2 and
others on different UNIX/Linux systems.
Windows: LC_CTYPE = 'German, Germany'
UNIX: LC_CTYPE='de_DE.UTF-8'
(so LC_COLLATE is too)
on both systems
ENCODING = 'UTF8'
Now the function UPPER('µ') works right on Windows, giving me 'µ'
(unicode = 181 respectivly U+00B5).
On Unix I get a char like M (unicode = 924 respectivlyU+039C), the GREEK
CAPITAL LETTER MU
But we are not in Greek.
Is this a Unix based problem with a wrong local setup (we dont think so,
servers local working on other german letters like ä, ö, ü and UPPER too),
or a Unix local problem in principle,
or a wrong postgre server setup,
or a postgre bug?
Or is this a feature, not a bug.
We dont know where to search or where to fix something.
PostgreSQL uses the operating system's towupper(3) function to
convert letters to upper case.
After looking at the UNICODE character list I tend to agree that
code point 0xB5 (MICRO SIGN) should not be converted to
0x39C (GREEK CAPITAL LETTER MU). There's 0x3BC for GREEK SMALL LETTER MU.
Bug or not, the operating systems seem to differ on this.
It is not PostgreSQL's doing.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Re: [ADMIN] Clarification on start/stop backup
Scott Whitney wrote: I'll be moving to PG9 (hopefully soon...probably 6 weeks). At that time, I'll be setting up hot-standby with streaming replication to 2 sites. Off-siting my pgdumps nightly is no longer going to be possible in the very near future, due to the size of the dumps. So...what I had planned to do was setup my production 9.x, setup my streaming standby (same network) 9.x and setup my disaster off-site (here at the office) also 9.x. Each one will do pg_dump at some point (nightly, probably) to ensure that I've got actual backup files available at each location. Yes, they'll be possibly-inconsistent, but only with one another, and that's a very minor issue for the dump files. Now, when I do the directory rsync/tar (in this case tar), I can bring it up pretty quickly on the standby that is there at the data center. However, of course, I need to also set it up here at my office. Which amounts to me driving back to the office, copying it over, and starting up PG (assuming I don't get interrupted 20 times walking in the door). So...something like this: SELECT pg_start_backup() tar off my pg directory SELECT pg_stop_backup() My question is this: Can I do stop_backup after I've tgzed to an external hard drive or do I have to wait to do stop_backup until both slaves are actually online? I _think_ that I'm merely telling the source db server that I have my possibly-inconsistent file system backup, you can go back to what you were doing, and then when the slave(s) come up, they start replaying the WAL files until they catch up then use network communication to stay in sync. Is that a correct understanding of the process? Roughly, yes. You can run pg_stop_backup() as soon as your tar command is done. You will need all archived WAL files to be copied over to the standby machine as soon as they are written. They are necessary for the standby to catch up to the master.

If you have formatted your system, then your data is gone. You may have luck with some data-recovery service. 2) how many folders or files will be their at base folder. When we install postgresql 8.2? You need the PostgreSQL 'data' directory and *all *the files underneath. 3) how to identify which folder contain which file. ?

Re: [ADMIN] Urgent help required
Usually the standard location for data is /var/lib/pgsql/data for postgresql 8. So try to restore this directory first and underneath. Only with that you can hopefully restore the whole system assuming that if tablespaces were creates are under the standard location. I would ask others to make sure there are no backups, sometimes there is guy who knows... Good luck A.A.
