I suppose this is an oldie but goodie, but I need a clue.
I've got BSDi 3.0 on an i386 platform. Following the installation
instructions for pgsql, I upgraded flex to 2.5.4 using the 2.5.4a download
from prep.ai.mit.edu. However, when I run gmake, I get this failure
sequence:

You have a buggy version of flex. Read INSTALL and search for flex for a

Subject: Keyed Tables
I thought I had already posted this query but now I can't remember. If
I have please excuse the repeat. But as I can't remember the answer
either can someone please comment.
Is there likely to be any attempt to allow a table to be keyed. It
seems that by default a table is created as a heap and in order to
improve access speed, one must create indices on that table.
I use Ingres at work and quite like the ability to do a 'modify table to
btree' type of command. When the table concerned is basically only a
key plus value, it seems rather inefficient to have to have both the
heap and then an index when supposedly one could simply make the table
into a btree in the first place.

Yes, it is a nice feature, but we don't support it. We do have CLUSTER,
but that is not as nice.

I usually add "-d 2" to my postmaster invocation. It puts a lot of
information in the logfile, although I must say I've never been happy about
Postgres's logs. If you want to see where an error has occured, the actual
query is buried within many internal messages.

This question is in the FAQ, ITEM 3.13:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq-english.shtml#3.13
Note that if you want to fill the table from a flat file that doesn't have
the serial numbers, you have to take some steps. Suppose the name of the
serial field is "s1", and the other fields are "f1", "f2"... "fn".
1) Create your table, say, "table1", with the fields s1, f1, f2... fn.
2) Create a temporary table "temp1", with only fields f1, f2... fn.
3) Use COPY to copy from the flat file to "temp1".
4) Use the following insert command to fill "table1":
INSERT INTO table1 (f1, f2, ... fn)
SELECT f1, f2,... fn
FROM temp1;
As you see, there is no mention of the s1 field, and since it has
a default, it fills itself automatically.
5) Drop the temp1 table.

To be more exact, you have to ask yourself whether only one person will be
performing updates at a time. The lack of transactions for MySQL implies
lack of locks, and thus lack of support for concurrent updates.

Not sure it is do-able for us. It would require so much work, that I

Unfortunately, full text indexing is a different issue than the kind of
indexing performed on table columns, and if you want to do any kind of
efficient full text searching, you have to index the individual words in
the text or it'd be so slow as to be hardly useful (especially if you're
talking about 600,000 records with 2K of text in each text field).
Excalibur, for instance, creates its own internal indexing for full text
records, but uses an underlying SQL database for regular fielded data, and
when you design your database, you have to make the distinction about what
kind of indexing you want, stop words (words you don't want indexed, like
'the' and 'of'), and the way certain fields can or will be searched.

Hi!
I've writen a very little AddressBook program, which can be
downloaded at http://www.gesnet.net/Alone/AddressBook/ .
It's not very big, nor very featured, but I find it useful
for my personal needs, and just wanted to share it. It was
writen in Perl, and uses DBI, Postgresql, and DBD::Pg,
which gives it nice possibilities (including the one of
dumping the database, and syncing a remote address book
database that can be used when you're not at home, for e.g).
Hope it will be useful to someone (else than myself ;-)

Subject: Problems with INSERT INTO?
Hi!
We are not really sure if this question is right for this mailinglist.
We have some problem with INSERT INTO and we dont know how to solve it.We
are writing it in a C-program. We are trying to get an integer from a file
and put it into a database. And we are sure that we get a interger into our
program.
When we created the table in the database we set the attribut to int4.
We get the problem when we trying to move the interger to the database.
int aP0;
PQexec(conn, "INSERT INTO octets VALUES(a)");
But the program works when we do like this:
PQexec(conn, "INSERT INTO octets VALUES(500)");
It feels like we need to convert int a in some way, byt we dont know how. We
are beginners with Postgresql.

Do this:
PQexec(conn, "INSERT INTO octets VALUES(%d)", a);
and read up on C's printf family of functions.

*oops* heh-heh.
Do _this_:
char query[LOTS_OF_ROOM];
sprintf(query, "INSERT INTO octects VALUES(%d)", a);
PQexec(conn, query);
and read up etc..
- -or- download my libpq wrapper, which allows you to perform queries without
using a temporary char array, in a manner similar to printf(). Available via
anon ftp from
brainkarma.dyndns.org/pub/dblib/
Note: it's very alpha right now and possibly quite messy as it's still under
development - works though :)

It is called contrib/fulltextindex. Does someone want to suggest a

Ah, here's the problem. Bruce means the contrib directory in the
source distribution, which is at the top level, right beside src
(were the core of postgresql lives). It's pgsql/contrib, if you
do a CVS checkout. I'm not sure where it ends up in various binary
packages. (/usr/lib/postgresql/contrib on my Debian Linux install,
for example, has parts of it,m but not the whole thing)

Sorry, I meant in the distribution's contrib directory, not the ftp

Is it true that there's no outer joins yet? Any plans? Btw. what is the

Subject: JDBC and insert - stack overflow
Hi,
I am afraid I am a newbie. Forgive me if this is a silly question-
I'm trying to create a large database using JDBC to load the tables by
calling executeUpdate with the statement "SQL INSERT INTO" + tableName +
" VALUES (" etc...
After 14 and a half thousand rows the java virtual machine crashes with:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError
at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Compiled Code)
at sun.io.Converters.newConverter(Compiled Code)
at sun.io.Converters.newDefaultConverter(Compiled Code)

at postgresql.PG_Stream.ReceiveString(Compiled Code)
at postgresql.Connection.ExecSQL(Compiled Code)
at postgresql.Statement.execute(Compiled Code)
at postgresql.Statement.executeUpdate(Compiled Code)
My first question is:
Am I doing things in a really stupid way?
If not, how do I fix the problem - I have tried increasing the default
stack and memory size for the JVM...

That's an example of performing procedural tasks using Perl as the
procedural language with access to the database.
I think what Mike is looking for are examples of using PL/pgSQL. Which, as
it where, is a procedural language 'internal' to postgreSQL (well that a
very bad way of putting it but I think you catch my drift).
Plenty of examples of using PL/pgSQL in the docs (as previously pointed
out). I started by looking at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/programmer/xplang1290.htm
and at the plpgsql.txt readme which can be found in the 'source' at:
<source_directory>/src/pl/plpgsql/doc
