Thread: Hot Deploy in PostGres
Hi,
Is there any way in which I can hot deploy changes to the source code of PostGres to the server without having to run configure command again?On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Ishaya Bhatt <ishayabhatt@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Is there any way in which I can hot deploy changes to the source code > of PostGres to the server without having to run configure command again? > I'm not sure what the question really is. Well, configure is used in preparation for a full compile, so if you are going to touch only the source code without having to change any external dependency, then you don't need to run configure again (but you have to compile the tree of course). What is your aim? Luca
I am trying to make some changes to the sorting code(C code of backend). In the process, whenever I make some changes, I have to run 'make install' again so as to compile and redeploy my changes to the server. Is there any faster way where I can deploy my changes without having to restart the server?

Well, technically you could run 'make' (building the binaries) and manually get that binary to wherever pg_ctl is looking...if you were feeling really dirty you could use a symlink. it's not clear how much time you'd really be saving however -- the install step of make doesn't really take all that long. Also, there's no way to deploy changes without restarting the server except in the very special case of libraries loaded with LOAD. merlin

I don't believe it is possible to change such a deep piece of code of the server without having to recompile (i.e., I don't think there is a dynamic linking available) and therefore without having to restart the whole software.
