[HACKERS]
Hi I saw in TODO CLIENTS * Add XML interface: psql, pg_dump, COPY, separate server and there's some code for JDBC in contrib/retep directory. Are there any plans to add xml support to postgresql, to return rown in formatted in xml for start? not only from psql, but from everywhere (e.g. php) I am (as time allows) adding to the xml under contrib/retep, but I don't know of anyone else working on it. Adding xml support to psql shouldn't be too difficult (it has html support already), and there is the ResultSet-XML stuff under contrib/retep.

Re: [HACKERS] Toast, Text, blob bytea Huh?
Quoting Joe Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED]: TEXT is a datatype which stores character data of unspecified length (up to the max value of a 4 byte integer in length, although I've seen comments indicating that the practical limit is closer to 1 GB -- not sure why). It may be something to do with the 1Gb splitting of the physical files representing a table... Unless it changed recently, a table was split over multiple files at the 1Gb mark.

We'd like to wrap up an RC1 and get this release happening this year sometime :) Tom mentioned to me that he has no outstandings left on his plate ... does anyone else have any *show stoppers* left that need to be addressed, or can I package things up? Nothing that would stop RC1 (I've still got some testing which I'm doing later tonight). Speak now, or forever hold your piece (where forever is the time between now and RC1 is packaged) ...

Hi,
I am trying to access PostGreSQL database running at the default port
5432
using JDBC. But the application is giving error "Cannot find suitable
driver". I have included JDBC driver JAR file in my CLASSPATH and
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver") is loading driver successfully.
Can anybody tell me how to go about to solve the problem?
Sounds like your URL is wrong. Make sure it begins with jdbc:postgresql:

Re: [HACKERS] Re: PostgreSQL JDBC Unicode Support
Quoting Tatsuo Ishii [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [Cced: to PostgreSQL hackers list] Alexander, I believe this problem was fixed in the latest JDBC driver, that is supposed to be shipped with 7.1. It asks your database which encoding is used for particular database while connecting to the database. So you should be able to see "select getdatabaseencoding" if you turn on a debugging option for postmaster. I also think the latest driver is compatible with 7.0.3, but I'm not sure. Peter T? It should be at the basic level, but methods in DatabaseMetaData will fail as they are specific to 7.1's system table changes etc. Peter -- Tatsuo Ishii From: "Alexander Vaysman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PostgreSQL JDBC Unicode Support Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 15:34:43 -0500 Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tatsuo, my name is Alex Vaysman, and I saw your numerous posts in the newsgroups regarding Postgres and mutli-language support. I have a problem with our Postgres database, and intensive searches on the Internet/newsgroups didn't provide me with an answer. I was wondering if you would know the answer or point me towards it. In the nutshell, we are trying to get Postgres DB running that supports Unicode and interacts with clients via JDBC. We have PostgreSQL version 7.0.3 installed. I have downloaded the latest JDBC driver from http://jdbc.postgresql.org. I have created a Unicode database (confirmed through \l command in psql, reported encoding is 'UNICODE'). In that DB I've created a table with two fields integer and varchar(64). Then I store a record into this table. In my code I specify the string through Unicode escapes. After that I retrieve this value and write it out. I don't get my value back but rather ?. I'm attaching the code I use for reference. My Internet searches for the solution indicated that I need to apply some patches to JDBC driver. However, I don't know how to do that. Do you know where I may download the JDBC driver version with the appropriate patches applied? If you're using one, would you be kind enough and e-mail it to me. Also, having some experience with SQL Server, I know that if I wanted to store Unicode values into some column I was creating that column as nvarchar rather the varchar. Is anything like this required for Postgres? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Alex Vaysman. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster -- Peter Mount [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL JDBC Driver: http://www.retep.org.uk/postgres/ RetepPDF PDF library for Java: http://www.retep.org.uk/pdf/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
RE: [HACKERS] CORBA and PG
Quoting Franck Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I guess these stubs are for accessing PG as a corba server... I'm trying to look to see if I can store CORBA objects inside PG, any ideas... Although I've not tried it (yet) it should be possible to access Java EJB's from corba. If so, then using an EJB server (JBoss www.jboss.org) you could then store them as Entity beans. Each one would then have its own table in the database.

Re: [HACKERS] using the same connection?
Quoting Mathieu Dube [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi y'all, Is it a bad idea for an app to keep just a couple of connections to a database, put semaphore/mutex on them and reuse them all through the program? Of course I would check if their PQstatus isnt at CONNECTION_BAD and reconnect if they were... I need some opinions on that practice... In the Java world it's called ConnectionPooling and is standard practice, especially with Servlets/JSP/EJB's.

was not one big email.
I haven't seen them either, although my Inbox is big again, and I'm filtering
out mails by their subject line, so it's possible I've missed them.

haven't seen it posted to hackers, or, if I did, I didn't clue into it

posting it here is easier to respond to ...
