Re: [PATCHES] SetDataBaseName
Hi Tom, During bootstrap mode, when running initdb, the dabasename template1 is passed in. 741 seems to handle this without using the global variable DatabaseName (which is used in 7.3.3). Our extention still relies on that global variable. So how does 7.4.1 find the database name during bootstrap mode? During bootstrap mode, get_database_name(databaseId) does not seem to work. This is why we are setting the global variable. The databaseId is comming from 7.4.1 code, so we are assuming that is valid. We would like to do it correctly, so any recomendation would be appreciated.

Evidently because the variable it sets doesn't exist anymore. I cannot think of any valid reason for an extension to have been messing with that variable anyway; so maybe you'd better explain what you need to accomplish instead of asking a low-level question. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
[PATCHES] SetDataBaseName
Hi All, Just a quick question about code changes to 7.4.1. I hope this the right mailing list. If it is not, please point me in the right direction... I am new to these lists. We have noticed that a function from 7.3.3: SetDataBaseName(const char *name) (in file miscinit.c), and the char *DataBaseName (from globals.c) has been removed in 7.4.1. Our extension uses this function, so obviously it complained when we tried to apply it and compile. We were wondering is there any particular reason why this function (SetDataBaseName) was taken out? Has it been replaced by another one? Is there any danger in us re-introducing this function to the code(any side affects)?
