Thread: solaris tarballs and pl/java
The tarball for 64bit 8.4.3 on Solaris Sparc is missing some ./pgxs/... files I seem to need to build pl/java. they exist in the 32bit version but at least of them, Makefile.global, appears quite build specific. $ ls -l 8.4-community/lib/pgxs/src/ total 91 -r--r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 19618 Mar 12 07:56 Makefile.global -r--r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 434 Mar 12 07:56 Makefile.port -r--r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 15738 Mar 12 07:56 Makefile.shlib drwxr-xr-x 2 postgres postgres 3 Mar 12 07:56 makefiles -r--r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 4734 Mar 12 07:56 nls-global.mk drwxr-xr-x 3 postgres postgres 3 Mar 12 04:59 test $ ls -l 8.4-community/lib/64/pgxs/src/ total 6 drwxr-xr-x 2 postgres postgres 3 Mar 12 08:11 makefiles drwxr-xr-x 3 postgres postgres 3 Mar 12 04:59 test now, I suppose I could try to hack up the 32bit one and copy it to the 64bit dir myself, but there's a lot of complex stuff in that file and way too much room for error for my tastes.

Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious from the error you were running into in your last message that you'll need to do your own PostgreSQL build here first, then add pl/java on top of that. Binary packages aren't necessarily good at giving you everything needed to build your extensions, and even if it did build I'd be suspicious of it until it passed testing. You can see more about how the OpenSolaris packages are built at http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfw/usr/src/cmd/postgres/ ; Makefile.sfw in particular might have clues as to what's going wrong here. There are separate code paths in several places there for 32 vs. 64 bit builds, and you seem to have run into a divergence between the two. As for mailing lists, you can try http://lists.pgfoundry.org/pipermail/pljava-dev/ for things specific to building it. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg@2ndQuadrant.com www.2ndQuadrant.us

What I build needs to eventually be installable on a 8.4-community 64bit install as they want to add pl/java support to a running production database. I can specify they use the same JDK etc. Last night, I started trying to piece together the environment for ./configure for postgres based on what pg_config gives me, but it aborted pretty early with missing stuffs... by then it was 1am and I was fried so I am taking a fresh look this morning... k, I'm already farther along and moving forward... (had to add /usr/sbin to the path to find dtrace, now I'm sorting out readline vs libedit...)... and stopped on a 'cannot compute size(off_t)' but I'm sure I'll figure that out...

Look into the config.log output to see why that particular test program is failing. (The relevant bit will probably be a few hundred lines before the end of config.log --- the last section of the log is a dump of the current values of all of configure's variables, and there are a lot...) BTW, which 8.4.x PG release is this exactly? regards, tom lane
Would this syntax work in PostgreSQL?
Inserting 5 rows in a single Insert? (I am trying to implement this solution across many different backends) works on SQL Server 2008, need to make sure it will work on many others.
INSERT INTO MyTable (FirstCol, SecondCol)
VALUES ('First',1),
('
Second
',2),
('
Third
',3),
('
Fourth
',4),
('
Fifth
',5)

I'm jumping sideways and trying a different attack on my actual problem, which is building pl/java HEAD for 64bit solaris sparc w/ 8.4.3 and JDK 1.5.0_23... rather than building the entire postgres tree, I replicated the couple missing files from the 32bit version and am 'fixing' their paths. I'm hitting another problem with that, but I think I'll take it to the pl/java list.

Even if you are able to get that to compile, it's likely to fall over at run time.

They could do it in perl and it would probably be just as fast. I mean, they arent gonna write _that_ much stored procedure code, are they? If they had questions there are several on this list that could help them convert java to perl. I'm just wondering... which is more expensive? 1) painful install pl/java, develop SP 2) install pl/perl, painful develop SP -Andy

Their attitude is, pljava and SQLJ are a standard, plperl isn't. anyways, I've got it all built now, and am just sorting out loading problems, I've moved over to the pljava-dev list for assistance on my current problems as this list is failrly java-hostile.
