Thread: Help needed in testing my code.
Dear Sir, I want to know the compilaiton and execution of my code. Suppose if i add a test printf statement in the src/backend/tcop/postgres.c and after compilation and execution i should get that statement every time i give a query to psql. After running make I even added the executables in the /usr/bin/ directory but i couldn't see the test statement after giving a query to psql. please tell me the procedure of adding a test printf statement in postgres.c(or in any file), and compiling and running it so that i get the test statement as an output when i give the query. Sincerely Srikanth M
Why don't you use elog(LOG, instead of printf ? -- Pip-pip Sailesh http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sailesh
Hi, This is a much better way than printf: elog(NOTICE, "this is my test: %s", string); Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Srikanth M" <srikanth_m@students.iiit.net> To: <pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 3:08 PM Subject: [HACKERS] Help needed in testing my code. > Dear Sir, > > > I want to know the compilaiton and execution of my > code.

I'm guessing his problem is that he's expecting this to come out of psql and not go to the backend's stdout.

Dear SirI am new to postgres and dont know the excat procedure of testing my code, okay i will use elog, but please tell me the procedure of testing that. for example,pls tell what should i do after i add code, what make files should i run and where should i place the new executables.

Srikanth As you're a big fan of stealing code, why don't you grep the source for occurences of "elog(LOG" or "elog(NOTICE". elog(NOTICE should send NOTICE messages to the psql client (I think !) while elog(LOG while only send it to the logfile you might have specified while starting the postmaster Srikanth> for example,pls tell what should i do after i add code, Srikanth> what make files should i run and where shouldi place Srikanth> the new executables. Well you sould start out by RTFM .. read how to build postgres. I run "make install" in my postgres directory (right above src/). -- Pip-pip Sailesh http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sailesh
Is anyone working on, or planning on working on the describe statement? It is very useful for ecpg, and a project I am working on. Depending on the amount, I may be able to get compensation for this, if this helps motivate anyone? -- Dave Cramer <dave@fastcrypt.com> fastcrypt
