Hi,

I know there is a ApacheMysql module. Has ApachePostgres module?

Do you mean postgres authentication module? It is called mod_auth_pgsql,
and you can hunt for this on http://modules.apache.org. Works pretty fine
for me.

Subject: User priveledges

I have what may be a fairly simple question for the group, but for the life
of me I missed it in the documentation.

In writing some perl cgi scripts for postgres, I found that I would get an
error message if a user without certain priveledges tried to do a select,
insert, delete or whatever.

What I would like to do is a quick scan prior to executing a perl script
that would look at the user and see if they have the priveledge for the
action they are about to attempt. An example would be that prior to a
screen coming up that handles deletions, a query is made to see if the user
even has this priveledge and the result is somehow captured so that they
can either go on to a subroutine generating a HTML screen for deletion or a
subroutine informing them they do not have the correct priveledge status,
etc....

Any hints?

Regards - Bob Kruger

hello all

normaly a UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY is unique but
when you use a heritage, you can insert a duplicate key !!!!

Hi Bruce,

Ok. Sorry about the delay.

I added the math.h but that doesn't seem to change the
query plan output.

I then dropped all the indices, made a new one on three of the
variables and clustered:

create index m_col on lmctot using btree (j_m, h_m, k_m);
cluster m_col on lmctot;
vacuum analyze;

where the j_m, h_m, k_m are three float4 fields.

The cluster took about 18 hours on my 7.1 million records
(this is a dual 450Mhz Xeon Linux box). Not sure why
this was so slow.

Anyway, this *hugely* improved queries of form:

select count(*) from lmctot where j_m>3.4::float4 and j_m<3.5:

although the explain query plan output is identical. However
using h_m or k_m (not the first variable in the index) appears
to be doing a sequential scan. Is that right?

I then made indices on h_m and k_m, vacuum analyzed and tried
again, but got identical performance. If this is the way
it is, so be it, but I have the feeling that something is
not working properly.

Any ideas?

Again, with _heaps_ of thanks,
