Getting to beta1
in [PgSql]

From: Josh Berkus on 14 Mar 2010 18:43 Devs, Also, I would like to have a Beta or at least a new alpha release before April 3 for the test-fest, so that our volunteers aren't testing bugs which are already patched. --Josh -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Perhaps a tutorial could go under Server Administration? Or perhaps under Tutorial even? It would be section I.4. http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/index.html Frankly, I think more examples and tutorials in the docs would help newbies a *lot*.

I think that at least the following item should be addressed before beta1 since it's a serious problem. * Walreceiver is not interruptible on win32 http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-01/msg01672.php I've already submitted the patch, and am waiting for the review.

It would be section I.4. +1 for having a Tutorial chapter about setting up archiving, PITR and replication. While at it, let's read the release notes and list other points that the tutorial could cover too. Do we need some more sections in Chapter 3. Advanced Features, dealing with Exclusion Constraint, the new DO command, how to manage privileges in a realistic examples (a superuser role shared between 2 DBAs, the database owner, and the application which is not allowed DDL, for example)? A psql chapter/section would maybe fit too, with tricks such as \o then query the catalog then \i, ON_ERROR_{STOP,ROLLBACK}, -1, -v, PGOPTIONS, etc, like Peter did in his last blog entry. Maybe some more admin level tutorial would be great to have too, such as how to find what's locking, how to monitor table and index usage to determine which indexes to drop, which to create, how to monitor <things> (slaves lag, hitratio, transactions, I/U/D activity, you name it). A lot of things are described in the manual and provided in munin or nagios plugins already, but still the Tutorial looks like a good place to give the recipes, ready-to-go queries etc. Regards, -- dim -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Regardless, I already have stubs for the first couple of these sitting on the wiki at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Category:Administration (locks, monitoring). I know I'd rather see work done on those, where we can continue to improve without doc commits and easily make things available for all versions, until that content is good. Maybe then we can talk about merging some of that back into the main docs. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg(a)2ndQuadrant.com www.2ndQuadrant.us -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
