varchar.diff
|
|
------------
|
|
This patch was necessary for the OpenLink Postgres Database Agent.
|
|
I think this fixes a bug anyway.
|
|
|
|
The following query demonstrates this bug:
|
|
|
|
create table foo (bar varchar);
|
|
insert into foo values (''); -- no problem
|
|
select * from foo where bar = ''; -- fails
|
|
|
|
|
|
fsync.diff
|
|
----------
|
|
This patch adds an option to disable synchronous writes.
|
|
It adds an extra option to postgres: -F
|
|
|
|
When started with -F, all fsync() calls will be no-ops,
|
|
so you'll be in big trouble when your machine suddenly crashes and your disk
|
|
cache is not flushed.
|
|
|
|
Use at your own risk (but it is *much* faster with large inserts)
|
|
|
|
This also speeds up initdb for initial database bootstrapping
|
|
|
|
To start postmaster with this "feature" enabled, type
|
|
postmaster -o -F -S
