|
||||||
Hi, |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
thank you for the latest Postgres95 distribution! |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
>does the createuser bug still persist, or have |
|
||||||
>we finally worked that one out? |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As has been indication by Bruce Momjian, the createuser problem was |
|
||||||
caused by a bug in flex 2.5.3 (which has been confirmed by Vern |
|
||||||
Paxson, the flex maintainer - many thanks to them); the bug will be |
|
||||||
fixed in flex 2.5.4. Vern Paxson has been so kind as to supply me with |
|
||||||
a patch that will be part of the 2.5.4 release; I'm including it below |
|
||||||
in case someone has installed flex 2.5.3 and doesn't want to go |
|
||||||
back to 2.5.2... |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Regards, |
|
||||||
|

General Users/Questions |
PostgreSQL is a freeware database server that is user |
||||||
|
developed, maintained and supported. It was originally |
||||||
|
known as Postgres, then as Postgres95. It is not ANSI |
||||||
|
SQL compliant but it is getting closer with every release. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
This list is designed as a forum geared towards installation and usage |
For support on PostgreSQL, look in the following places: |
||||||
problems related to PostgreSQL, as well as a place to discuss general |
|
||||||
SQL related problems. |
|
||||||

Questions |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* This is a general discussion area for users. |
||||||
|
* Outside of compile, acceptance test and bug |
||||||
|
problems, most new users who don't want to |
||||||
|
contribute to development or documentation will |
||||||
|
probably only be interested in this mailing list. |
||||||
|
* All non-bug related questions regarding PostgreSQL's |
||||||
|
version of SQL should be restricted to this area. |
||||||
|
* All installation related questions that do not |
||||||
|
involve bugs or failed compiles should be restricted |
||||||
|
to this area. |
||||||
|
* Please note that many of the developers monitor this |
||||||
|
area. |
