Re: [HACKERS] PG-MQ?

Do you guys need something PG specific or built into PG? ActiveMQ is very nice, speaks multiple languages, protocols and supports a ton of features. Could you simply use that? http://activemq.apache.org/ Rob

2) As long as we're using CVS, the only way to organize autonomous project teams that have authority over their special areas but no ability to change central code is to push out projects to separate CVS trees. This has never been an issue before, AFAIK, nobody with commit

Re: [HACKERS] Feature freeze date for 8.1

2005-05-02 Thread Rob Butler
One way to handle this is to have an option, set by the client, that causes the server to send some ignorable message after a given period of time idle while waiting for the client. If the idleness was due to network partitioning or similar failure, then this ensures that the connection

I read the hackers list all the time, and have for years, and my company sponsors PG events every few months, and I would consider myself fairly plugged in to PG, and this is the first I have seen/heard of the PostgreSQL Foundation http://thepostgresqlfoundation.org/ Perhaps a little more

Re: [HACKERS] Feature freeze date for 8.1

2005-04-28 Thread Rob Butler
As a user, I would definetly prefer to see 8.1 released sooner with the feature set listed below, than wait another 6+ months for a few other features. Additionally, the beta may go smoother/faster if you don't have too many huge features going in at once. Just my opinion. Later Rob --- Bruce

Re: [HACKERS] DO INSTEAD and conditional rules

2005-04-26 Thread Rob Butler
For this particular scenario, can't you just create two ON DELETE rules? The first would delete from b, the second from a. Perhaps an example with a scenario like this can be added to the doc's? So, the short answer is you can only perform one query in a rule, but you can have multiple rules

I'd say it's very not cool :) It's not we all expected from PITR. I recall now Simon mentioned about that and have it in his TODO. Other thing I don't understand what's the problem to generate WAL file by demand ? Probably, TODO should says about this. This would definetly be a good

Hey folks, Sorry to post with this (slightly) off topic message, but just wanted to get the word out. Bruce and Jan will be presenting on Postgresql April 16th at Penn State Great Valley in Malvern, PA. The event is sponsored by the company I work for, Chariot Solutions. It's completely free

That makes it sound as if you didn't do the same level of testing on *this* release, like it didn't go through all the tests or something. How about it does not have the extensive testing history that other supported platforms in this release have. Later Rob OK, new wording:

Hello all, 3. Probe deeper and see if there's more that we can share (C-code essentially). I have my doubts about sharing C-code since we do things fundamentally different. I know you have a generic call mechanism that we could use to establish a common ground, but I think it would bad for

Might I just suggest good old C:\PostgreSQL ? MS SQL server defaults to C:\MSSQL, so I don't think that a directory in the root path is unreasonable. Further, it makes it look more important if it installs in the root directory :) Don't do that. I hate software that does that. To me it

Of course I have no time to work on it : (, but in my opinion XA interface and support for the JDBC driver is absolutely necessary. I think that 2pc will generally be used more for supporting 2pc transactions between the DB and JMS than it would be for 2pc across 2 db's. Glad to see some
