  1. Removal of recipe/tioga/Tee node

    Bruce Momjian <maillist@candle.pha.pa.us> — 1998-07-19T10:19:59Z

    I want to remove the recipe, tioga, and Tee node code from the system. 
    They are all interdependant.
    
    I don't believe any of the code is useful.  It was designed for a
    special tioga application that uses our database for a backend. 
    Probably not used by anyone anymore.  It is not even enabled to compile.

    Is this related to the DataSplash package?

    I think so.

  4. pqReadData()

    Egon Schmid <eschmid@delos.stuttgart.netsurf.de> — 1998-07-19T17:57:40Z

    Hi Bruce, last Sunday you helped me with libpq.so.1.  Now I'm in trouble
    to start psql.  I think that all is clean, but I get allways the same
    error message when starting psql.  The whole week I can only see this:
    
    marliesle$ ps ax | grep post
     3140  p1 S      0:00 postmaster -d 3 -i 
     6623  p1 S      0:00 grep post 
    marliesle$ kill 3140
    marliesle$ postmaster -i &
    [1] 6624
    marliesle$ psql verlag
    Connection to database 'verlag' failed.
    pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
    	This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or
    while processing the request.
    marliesle$ 
    
    A etags search points me to src/interfaces/libpq/fe-misc.c. I am using the
    latest CVS. I hope someone will introduce cvsweb so I can see any changes
    to the source tree.

    I tried DataSplash out a few months ago and it worked.  If anything that
    code should be ifdef0'ed out with comments to indicate what it is for.
    Removing wholesale doesn't seem like a very good approach.
    
    DataSplash, despite its problems, looked fairly nifty.

    Run the postmaster as:
    
    	nohup postmaster -i >log 2>&1 &
    
    and check the log file after the failure.  You may also need to rerun
    initdb because the source tree is changing so much.

    It was removed from Mariposa, and we never compile it.  If DataSplash
    worked, they must not be using the old code we have anymore either.
    
    It has something to do with Tioga recipes and variable length arrays. 
    We will keep it around for later use.
