rate it's better than what used to be there. * Does proper SQL "host variable" substitution as pointed out by Andreas Zeugwetter (thanks): select * from :foo; Also some changes in how ':' and ';' are treated (escape with \ to send to backend). This does _not_ affect the '::' cast operator, but perhaps others that contain : or ; (but there are none right now). * To show description with a <something> listing, append '?' to command name, e.g., \df?. This seemed to be the convenient and logical solution. Or append a '+' to see more useless information, e.g., \df+. * Fixed fflush()'ing bug pointed out by Jan during the regression test discussion. * Added LastOid variable. This ought to take care of TODO item "Add a function to return the last inserted oid, for use in psql scripts" (under CLIENTS) E.g., insert into foo values(...); insert into bar values(..., :LastOid); \echo $LastOid * \d command shows constraints, rules, and triggers defined on the table (in addition to indices) * Various fixes, optimizations, corrections * Documentation update as well Note: This now requires snprintf(), which, if necessary, is taken from src/backend/port. This is certainly a little weird, but it should suffice until a source tree cleanup is done. Enjoy. -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115

Installing PostgreSQL on NT:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It can be done by done by typing configure, make and make install.
1. Install the Cygwin package
2. Update to EGCS 1.1.2
(This may be optional.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONAL
1. Install the Andy Piper Tools (http://www.xemacs.freeserve.co.uk/)
(This may be optional.)
You need at least the crypt library (also available as
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/libcrypt-cygwin-b20.1.tar.bz2)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CYGWIN32 INSTALLATION
1. Download the Cygwin32 IPC Package by Ludovic LANGE
http://www.multione.capgemini.fr:80/tools/pack_ipc/current.tar.gz
2. Untar the package and follow the readme instructions.
3. Apply the patch pgsql/src/win32/ipc.patch to the cygipc sources
before compiling the library.
4. I tested 1.03.
5. 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.
NOTE:
Also, the cygnus-bindir has to be placed in the path before the
NT-directories, because the sort.exe has to be taken for cygnus, not
NT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTGRESQL INSTALL WITH NT SPECIFICS
1. Download the current version of PostgreSQL.
2. Untar the package.
3. Copy the files from \pgsql\src\win32 according to the readme file.
4. Edit \pgsql\src\template\cygwin32 if needed (I had to adjust the YFLAGS
path).
5. ./configure
6. make
7. create the directory /usr/local/pgsql manually: the mkdir cannot create a
directory 2 levels deep in one step.
8. make install
9. cd /usr/lical/pgsql/doc
10. make install
11. Set the environmental data
12. Initdb --username=jkr (do not run this command as administrator)
13. Open a new Cygwin command prompt
14. Start "ipc-deamon&" (background proces)
15. Start "postmaster -i 2>&1 > /tmp/postgres.log &" (background proces)
16. Start "tail -f /tmp/postgres.log" to see the messages
17. cd /usr/src/pgsql/src/test/regress
18. make all runtest
All test should be run.
NOTE:
By default, PostgreSQL clients like psql communicate using unix domain
sockets, which don't work on NT. Start the postmaster with -i, and
when connecting to the database from a client, set the PGHOST
environment variable to 'localhost' or supply the hostname on the
command line.
