Hi,
my logfiles all have this permission:

Is it possible that postgres creates group readable files? I want to
monitor this logfile, but

Hi,
I'm using tablelog (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/tablelog/) on an old
FreeBSD 6 / Postgresql 7.4 server, and I'm really happy with it. It
always worked great.
I saw this morning that the project used to be accepted for a while in
the debian packages repository, but has been removed last
Thanks Richard

Hello again!
I modified the application I mentioned in my last post, the one that is

in C++. All data access is through a class named CCRecordset. We
the array needs to be named to a different name than the original table e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DOUBLE_NUMBER AS OBJECT (num1 NUMBER,num2 NUMBER);
--Create an Array which will use 2 of the double_numbers we just created
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TABLE_ARRAY AS VARRAY(2) OF DOUBLE_NUMBER;
While we are talking about this, is a development like Oracle Flashback
queries planned maybe?
You can flashback to old data, but you need to use the tablelog
functions.
Oracle Flashback Query seems to use undo logs to return in a point in
time if the undo retention param permit it.
i think i just need a METHOD for localhost only.
thanks.
