Thread: vacuum
Hi there Another problem: when i try to start vacuum, psql outputs: NOTICE: CreatePortal: portal <vacuum> already exists ERROR: cannot create lock file -- another vacuum cleaner running? Restarting postmaster nothing changes. What am i to do to run vacuum properly? Marcin Grondecki mailto:ojciec@mtl.pl * I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing!
I am porting a web based forum cgi to PHP and PostgreSQL. My main problem is that I need to use large objects to store the message bodies since some of them exceed 8k. The existing forum software allow searching on the bodies of the messages. I don't think I can put the Oid of a large object in a WHERE and have do anything useful :) I know that I could search the large objects with PHP but that doesn't seem very efficient. Searching a large object for a text string seems like something that somebody must have done before but I can't find anything in the archives about it. I think it is going to require something in C to enable searching the LO in the WHERE. I looked at MySql and it seems that its "large objects" can do this but I'd rather not go that way. Anybody have any suggestions for me? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher Weimann SysAdmin Wall Internet LLC.
