  1. How to compile PosttgreSQL on NT

    Joost Kraaijeveld <jkraaijeveld@askesis.nl> — 1999-04-13T07:04:16Z

    These are the steps I used to compile and run PostgreSQL on Windows NT.
    Notice that I have not verfied it after 24-3-99. In the coming week I hope
    to update my webpage.
    
    1. Install the Cygwin package
    2. Update to EGCS 1.1.2
    
    1. Install the Andy Piper Tools
    
    1. Download the Cygwin32 IPC Package by .
    2. Untar the package and follow the readme instructions.
    3. I tested 1.03.
    4. I used the \cygwin-b20\h-i568-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\lib and
    \cygwin-b20\h-i568-cygwin32\i586-cygwin32\include\sys instead of the
    /usr/local/lib and usr/local/include/sys.
    
    1. Download the current snapshot.tar.gz (24-3-98).
    2. Untar the package.
    3. Copy the files from \pgsql\src\win32 according to the readme file.
    3. Edit \pgsql\src\template\cygwin32 if needed (I had to adjust the YFLAGS
    path).
    4. ./configure
    5. make
    6. create the directory /usr/local/pgsql manually: the mkdir cannot create a
    directory 2 deep.
    7. make install
    8. cd /usr/lical/pgsql/doc
    9. make install
    10. Set the environmental data
    11. Initdb--username=jkr (do not run this command as administrator)
    
    12. Open a new Cygwin command prompt
    13. Start "ipc-deamon&" (background proces)
    14. Start "postmaster -i 2>&1 > /tmp/postgres.log &" (background proces)
    15. Start "tail -f /tmp/postgres.log" to see the messages
    
    16. cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/test/regress
    17. make all runtest
    
    18. triggers aborts dr watson
    19. misc after portals aborts dr watson
    20. plpgsql aborts dr watson
    21. temp results in a deadlock.

    This is now in the doc directory as README.NT.

    May I suggest more detail on items such as

  4. July 1999 issue of Sys Admin

    Thomas Good <tomg@nrnet.org> — 1999-07-07T16:15:50Z

    Jeff -
    
    The July issue of sys admin has a feature on Perl for DBAs.
    This is actually better coverage than you get in most perl
    books.  It covers most of the DBI command set so it may be of
    some interest to Edmund...  
    
    What is of note is that the author uses Oracle as his primary
    database.  And so all the primary examples are in Oracle_Speak.
    
    The secondary examples tho --- are all Pg.
    
    I don't recall seeing any reference to Postgres in the article
    but then again I only read the listings closely...skimmed the
    literary verbiage hastily over my A.M. coffee.
    
    Shall I fax you a copy?

    No idea.  I would be glad to add more information to the file if I knew
    anything.  Perhaps the author can add something.

    Yes, please :-)
    
    I'd like to ask if it's on the web?

    The magazine (www.samag.com) but not the article.  Maybe later in the
    year.  I can't remember the policy right now.

    I could do that...of course, Kaare, you'd have to buy me a pint.
    I hope to be at a conference in Paris next spring...maybe I'll
    stop by.  Or we could meet in Antwerpen.  ;-)
    
    > I'd like to ask if it's on the web?
    
    Not yet.
    
    BTW, this is not any advanced code, it is basic, `how do I connect'
    stuff.  But it is clear and correct - unlike what you see in `Advanced
    Perl Programming'.
    
    The reason I mentioned it to Jeff is that he's in Sales and it's good
    to see Pg mentioned (albeit indirectly) in one of the trades...it is 
    a pet peeve that MySQL and mSQL get all the press.  I suppose they
    are decent databases and deserve coverage but postgres beat out both
    of them in my shop.  I wish Tim O'Reilly would notice that lots of
    use _rely_ on postgres...
    
    How goes the accounting project?  I had to refocus on my clinical 
    software as we have dumped all proprietary databases (shut down our
    last PROGRESS database yesterday) and I have lots of code to write.
    Speaking of which --- back to work!
    
    Cheers,
