Thread: YOUR SITES SEARCH FEATURE DOES NOT WORK!
hello, i've been trying now for the last hour to use your sites search feature. guess what it doesn't work. i've tried with 2 different browsers about 20 times. never once did your search feature work. it never found anything let alone tell me it was even trying to search. i only know it was trying to search from the browser motion. just now after waiting (again) i was notified your website could not connect to whatever it has to. i really need help with Postgresql and OS X terminal. i cannot figure out how to create a new user. firstly i cannot figure out how to get back into the postgresql interactive terminal. please help me __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

okay, first off ... what URL? I've been working on, and testing, archives all week, and altho getting things down below a 2min search appears to be near impossible (anyone know something *better* then mnogosearch that will handle >250k URLs and growing ... ? we tried ht/Dig before, and the resources it suck'd were outrageous) ...

This is not facetious, honestly, but what about google? site:archives.postgresql.org +"OS X" +terminal returns just a couple of pages... Of course there's no date ordering as such, although "+2003" works fairly well, as does +"[ADMIN]". Not a panacea I know, but it's quick, and it does have the whole of archives indexed.

At a pinch and as an alternative there's always google: use site:archives.postgresql.org "search terms here" or similar and it does a very quick search.

I would like to dump select tables from a database (omitting some tables). It looks like pg_dump only allows you to dump the entire database or select single tables to dump. Is there a way to specify to pg_dump a list of tables to dump (or to omit)? I can dump all the desired tables as single dumps, but dump-many-single-tables approach is troublesome since I want to apply the indexes at the end to make the restore more efficient (and to avoid integrity checking until the entire database is restored) Wouldn't that mean hand-editing the dumps to apply the indexes separately (or at least last)? Or can I simply concatenate all these single-table dumps and tell pg_restore to apply the indexes last? Is there a simple way to accomplish this? yuji ---- Yuji Shinozaki Computer Systems Senior Engineer ys2n@virginia.edu Advanced Technologies Group (434)924-7171 Information Technology & Communication http://www.people.virginia.edu/~ys2n University of Virginia

The only thing I don't know is how referential integrity constraints will be handled because the primary table might not exist when you create the foreign table. We can dump specific schemas in 7.4beta. You can do a full dump and use pg_resetore to pull out specific tables, but then again, I don't know how it handles referential integrity. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Hi Marc, I use htdig at work to index a rather large web site and it doesn't use resources all that bad. My htdig db directory is only 250 megs and it screams. Are you sure it was that bad? Would it be ok if I pointed a test instance of htdig at postgresql.org at night and indexed it to get an idea of how much space it'll take to index it? I'm a huge fan of htdig/ warts and all, so I'd kinda like to see if it can be made to work.
go for it, point it at archives.postgresql.org though, since that is the major part of the search engine On Thu, 4 Sep 2003, scott.marlowe wrote: > On Tue, 2 Sep 2003, Marc G.

k, try the search engine now ... I just found a 'missing index' on one of the critical tables, and I'm getting more realistic speeds on search results ... On Thu, 4 Sep 2003, Marc G.

(I assume we're talking about the email archives). How about a quick and dirty script (perl, maybe) that grabs everything, "intelligently" chucks the pseudo contents (stripping message quotes for instance) into a pgsql table, and then see if tsearchv2 can be used to search it via another quick and dirty CGI? Have to find some place to host it though, the db might be huge.

Personally I'd like to see effort go into getting fts.postgresql.org
back up and going; I've always had better results searching their.

As far as I know, the database side is ready for them, and Teodor has the information, but I suspect that beta is bogging them down also ... Fixing the index on the url table in mnogosearch appears to have made an immense difference ... by factors of 10 ...

Can't help with the search engine, but the answer to your question is: psql <database name>. I'd recommend starting with the tutorial in the docs for questions like this. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/tutorial-start.html I can also confirm that the search engine in the docs area (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/index.html) is working. I just used it moments ago. -Nick > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-admin-owner@postgresql.org > [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of 3rd. > Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 7:58 PM > To: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org > Subject: [ADMIN] YOUR SITES SEARCH FEATURE DOES NOT WORK! > > > hello, > > i've been trying now for the last hour to use your > sites search feature. > > guess what it doesn't work. > > i've tried with 2 different browsers about 20 times. > > never once did your search feature work. it never > found anything let alone tell me it was even trying to > search. i only know it was trying to search from the > browser motion. > > just now after waiting (again) i was notified your > website could not connect to whatever it has to. > > i really need help with Postgresql and OS X terminal. > i cannot figure out how to create a new user. firstly > i cannot figure out how to get back into the > postgresql interactive terminal. > > please help me > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

What URL are you using? I just went to archives.postgresql.org, typed in 'mvcc' for a search and it came back in <10 seconds ...
