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.

Is this a rhetoric question?

I have no idea.

A posting I saw (by one of the Bugzilla guys, I think) required something to
be done in PostgreSQL before they can migrate - something exactly related to
the issue of upgrading from one Bugzilla version to another.

That means - Bugzilla takes care of the database upon upgrade. I am pretty
sure somebody will write a migration tool. Otherwise the whole noise is
somehow useless.

Or not?

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.

Can I have multiple cursors open ...

From
Jim Parker

.. 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

I think he said that they needed DROP COLUMN functionality, which is being
worked on for 7.3.  (Although I haven't had time to work on it for a few
days)
