Re: Regression test fails v9.2.4

Sorry - replying to my own question....

It seems that the problem only occurs when configuring the make with these settings :

--with-libraries=/lib64 --with-blocksize=2 --with-wal-blocksize=2

Now, we *could* do a two phase compile, one to perform regression tests and another for deployment. Clearly we don't want to do that.

Subject: [GENERAL] Regression test fails v9.2.4

Hi all...

In my organisation we build PG from source on SLES11.2 using GCC 4.3.

Versions 9.1.x of Postgresql and earlier always passed all of the regression tests but 9.2.3 and .4 fail on the following :
Union
Join
Select views
Polymorphism
With

This happens when using gmake check & gmake MAX_CONNECTIONS=10 installcheck

Mostly the fails are because the returned data order doesn't match the expected results. Another significant example is this output from the 'union' test :

Sorry for the rambling question : is this problem common, i.e. the expected results files need to be changed or... is it just me? :)
