Hi
What is a good solution for rotating postgresql log files?
I'm running 'Linux 2.2.16-22smp #1 SMP i686 unknown' and a solution that
was proposed to me was to use cron and a program called logrotate:

right. With a

In all fairness, there aren't any good HTML-based Unix tutorials. I've
looked for them. In particular, Sun is worthless here, curious since their
Java tutorial is (IMO) really well done.
I'm hoping PostgreSQL is MORE stable than Oracle in our Solaris environment.

or
select * from table where last_name between 'A' and 'G';

The second one is broken if last_name='G' returns something.
Use ~* in first example to ignore case.

Those things are just functions with a special syntax. No, it's not
easily possible to create more such functions, but it's easy to create
regular functions.

Hi, I want to backup a database. I've read here that pg_dumpall is
really the best way to do it. However, what options are going to be most
useful to me, should I need to restore the db ever. I know there's
probably lots of conditional things, but just in general, what are the

Hi folks,
I'm upgrading from Postgres 6.5 to 7.1. 6.5 was originally installed using
apt-get (this is on a debian potato box). I'm installing 7.1 from tarball,
because there are some particular things I want.
Anyway, I'm dumping my database, and I get the command: pg_encoding: command
