Thread: bugzilla.pgaccess.org
Hello,
As of today, a Bugzilla has been made available at -
bugzilla.pgaccess.org
This is a pretty straight forward installation of Bugzilla 2.14.2
It is currently empty. There are even no components so the first bug
submissions can be either request for components or have to wait a few days.
As we do not have much experience setting Bugzila for open source project
(we use it for internal projects - with groups and permissions), all
comments are welcome.

Just out of curiosity, what database is backing it? If it isn't PostgreSQL, what about using PHP BugTracker instead? That runs on top of PostgreSQL. http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpbt/ Jan -- #======================================================================# # It's easier to get forgiveness for being wrong than for being right. # # Let's break this rule - forgive me. # #================================================== JanWieck@Yahoo.com #

What don't you try bugzilla.bugzilla.org or something like that :) I mean - the guys at Mozilla have made a great product using Bugzilla. I would be happy if we bring pgaccess at least to the level of Mozilla. Then we can talk about changing the bug tracking system. Agreed?

Still we could use the bugzilla variant that uses PostgreSQL for its DB. You can download it from the link uder the perl seal on the page https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi It points to ftp://people.redhat.com/dkl where are variants for mysql, oracle and postgresql. The only thing you have to do after install is changing the first lines of scripts as they currently ppoint to #!/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl which you may not have ;) --------------- Hannu

Hello everybody, I want to apologise for inflating all lists (as Chris noticed) with insignificant discussions. I would like to invite all pgaccess involved people to restrict their postings to developers@pgaccess.org, unless there is a good reason for doing it differently. Thanks, Iavor PS I get the impression that some of the lists repeat the messages more than once and sometimes with a delay... or there is something wrong with my filters...

I am not subscribed to that list. So you would've missed my 2 cents.

I have included pgsql-hackers again, where this discussion originally started crossposted. Hannu's question is absolutely not rhetoric. I see a concern about using a MySQL based tool for PostgreSQL related project management on a public site in it. The Bugzilla project plans to support PostgreSQL in one of their future releases, but this requires functionality in PostgreSQL, that is not even scheduled for 7.3. So the availability of a supported PostgreSQL port of Bugzilla is unpredictable at this time. My opinion is that a project as closely related to PostgreSQL as pgaccess should try to use PostgreSQL backed management tools. The switch to PHP BugTracker or something else at this time would be easiest, since the Bugzilla installation on pgaccess.org is virgin and does not contain any data yet. This is reason why I suggested that switch when you asked for comments originally. And I have not yet seen any argument against it, nor any reason why to start off with a MySQL based Bugzilla version now. Especially when there are equivalent solutions using PostgreSQL available.

REPLACE INTO is one more. Though you can work around it. If you setup a BEFORE INSERT trigger, in which you do a table lock, then try to UPDATE an existing row with NEW's key. If that succeeds, you return NULL, suppressing the INSERT. If it fails, you return NEW letting the INSERT happen. The table lock (what Bradley called "heavy locking") is required because otherwise someone can sneak in between your update attempt and letting the INSERT happen, getting exactly the same result and ... boom, duplicate key error.

.. inside of each other using ECPG ? I have a situation where it would be advantages to open a cursor, retrieve a tuple, then open another query based on the results of the first. Then when that query has been processed return to the first query and get the second tuple. Is this possible ? cheers, Jim Parker

Sure.
