Because the Postgres backend's current working directory
is not usually the same as the user's

"<filename>foo</filename>" (without
additional path information) may yield unexpected results for the
naive user. In this case, <filename>foo</filename>
will wind up in <filename>$PGDATA/foo</filename>. In

For dynamically-loaded C functions, the SQL name of the function must
be the same as the C function name, because the AS clause is used to
give the path name of the object file containing the C code. In this
situation it is best not to try to overload SQL function names. It
might work to load a C function that has the same C name as an internal
function or another dynamically-loaded function --- or it might not.
On some platforms the dynamic loader may botch the load in interesting
ways if there is a conflict of C function names. So, even if it works
for you today, you might regret overloading names later when you try
to run the code somewhere else.

Postgres provides btree, rtree and hash access methods for
secondary indices. The btree access method is an implementation of
the Lehman-Yao high-concurrency btrees. The rtree access method
implements standard rtrees using Guttman's quadratic split algorithm.
The hash access method is an implementation of Litwin's linear
hashing. We mention the algorithms used solely to indicate that all
of these access methods are fully dynamic and do not have to be
optimized periodically (as is the case with, for example, static hash
access methods).

A Constraint is a named rule: an SQL object which helps define
The optional constraint
clauses specify constraints or tests which new or updated entries
must satisfy for an insert or update operation to succeed. Each constraint
must evaluate to a boolean expression. Multiple attributes may be referenced within
a single constraint. The use of PRIMARY KEY
as a table constraint
is mutually incompatible with PRIMARY KEY as a column constraint.
</para>
<para>
A constraint is a named rule: an SQL object which helps define
valid sets of values by putting limits on the results of INSERT,
UPDATE or DELETE operations performed on a Base Table.

<para>
There are two ways to define integrity constraints:
table constraints, covered later, and column constraints, covered here.

<para>
A column constraint is an integrity constraint defined as part
of a column definition, and logically becomes a table
constraint as soon as it is created. The column
constraints available are:

.\" arbitrary means of denoting ecpg source.
The .pgc extension is an arbitrary means of denoting ecpg source.
.SH COMPILING AND LINKING
Assuming the \fIPostgreSQL\fP binaries are in /usr/local/pgsql:
.LP
gcc -g -i /usr/local/pgsql/include (-o file) file.c
-L /usr/local/pgsql/lib -lecpg -lpq
.SH ECPG GRAMMAR
.LP
.SH LIBRARIES
.LP
The preprocessor will prepend two directives to the source:
.LP
\fI#include <ecpgtype.h>\fP and \fI#include <ecpglib.h>\fP
.SH VARIABLE DECLARATION
Variables declared within ecpg source code must be prepended with:
.LP
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
.LP
Similarly, variable declaration sections must terminate with:
.LP
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
.LP
NOTE: prior to version 2.1.0, each variable had to be declared
on a separate line. As of version 2.1.0 multiple variables may
be declared on a single line:
.LP
char foo(16), bar(16);
.LP
.SH ERROR HANDLING
The SQL communication area is defined with:
.LP
EXEC SQL INCLUDE sqlca;
.LP
NOTE: the lowercase `sqlca'. While SQL convention may be
followed, i.e., using uppercase to separate embedded SQL
from C statements, sqlca (which includes the sqlca.h
header file) MUST be lowercase. This is because the EXEC SQL
prefix indicates that this INCLUDE will be parsed by ecpg.
ecpg observes case sensitivity (SQLCA.h will not be found.)
EXEC SQL INCLUDE can be used to include other header files
as long as case sensitivity is observed.
.LP
The sqlprint command is used with the EXEC SQL WHENEVER
statement to turn on error handling throughout the
program:
.LP
EXEC SQL WHENEVER sqlerror sqlprint;
.LP
EXEC SQL WHENEVER not found sqlprint;
.LP
PLEASE NOTE: this is *not* an exhaustive example of usage for
the EXEC SQL WHENEVER statement. Further examples of usage may
be found in SQL manuals (e.g., `The LAN TIMES Guide to SQL' by
Groff and Weinberg.)
.LP
.SH CONNECTING TO THE DATABASE SERVER
Prior to version 2.1.0 the database name was single quoted:
.RS
EXEC SQL CONNECT 'test1';
.RE
.LP
As of version 2.1.0, the syntax has been simplified:
.LP
.RS
EXEC SQL CONNECT test1;
.RE
(The database name is no longer quoted.)
.LP
Specifying a server and port name in the connect statement is also possible
as of version 6.4. of PostgreSQL. The syntax is:
.LP
.RS
dbname[@server][:port]
.RE
.LP
or
.LP
.RS
<tcp|unix>:postgresql://server[:port][/dbname][?options]
.RE
.SH QUERIES
.LP
.SS Create Table:
.LP
EXEC SQL CREATE TABLE foo (number int4, ascii char(16));
.RS
EXEC SQL CREATE UNIQUE index num1 on foo(number);
.RE
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
.LP
.SS Insert:
.LP
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO foo (number, ascii)
.RS
VALUES (9999, 'doodad');
.RE
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
.LP
.SS Delete:
.LP
EXEC SQL DELETE FROM foo
.RS
WHERE number = 9999;
.RE
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
.LP
.SS Singleton Select:
.LP
EXEC SQL SELECT foo INTO :FooBar FROM table1
.RS
WHERE ascii = 'doodad';
.RE
.LP
.SS Select using Cursors:
.LP
EXEC SQL DECLARE foo_bar CURSOR FOR
.RS
SELECT number, ascii FROM foo
.RS
ORDER BY ascii;
.RE
.RE
EXEC SQL FETCH foo_bar INTO :FooBar, DooDad;
.LP
...
EXEC SQL CLOSE foo_bar;
.RS
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
.RE
.LP
.SS Updates
.LP
EXEC SQL UPDATE foo
.RS
SET ascii = 'foobar'
.RE
.RS
WHERE number = 9999;
.RE
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
.LP
.SH BUGS
.LP
The is no EXEC SQL PREPARE statement.
.LP
The complete structure definition MUST be listed
inside the declare section.
.LP
See the TODO file in the source for some more missing features.
.LP
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.LP
ecpg returns 0 to the shell on successful completion, -1
for errors.

Description
</title>
<para>
<application>ipcclean</application>
cleans up shared memory and semaphore space from aborted backends by
deleting all instances owned by user <literal>postgres</literal>.
Only the DBA
should execute this program as it can cause bizarre behavior (i.e.,
crashes) if run during multi-user execution. This program should be
executed if messages such as
<computeroutput>
semget: No space left on device
</computeroutput>
are encountered when starting up the
<application>postmaster</application> or the backend server.
</para>
<para>
If this command is executed while <application>postmaster</application>
is running, the shared memory and semaphores allocated by the
<application>postmaster</application>
will be deleted. This will result in a general failure of the
backends servers started by that
<application>postmaster</application>.
</para>
<para>
This script is a hack, but in the many years since it was written, no
one has come up with an equally effective and portable solution.
Suggestions are welcome.
</para>
<para>
The script makes assumption about the format of output of the
<application>ipcs</application>
utility which may not be true across different operating systems.
Therefore, it may not work on your particular OS.

Description
</title>
<para>
<application>pg_passwd</application>
is a tool to manipulate the
flat password file functionality of
<productname>Postgres</productname>. This style of password
authentication is not <emphasis>required</emphasis> in an
installation, but is one of several supported security mechanisms.
</para>
<para>
Specify the password file in the same style of
<literal>Ident</literal> authentication in
<filename>$PGDATA/pg_hba.conf</filename>:
<programlisting>
host unv 133.65.96.250 255.255.255.255 password passwd
</programlisting>
where the above line allows access from 133.65.96.250 using the passwords listed
in <filename>$PGDATA/passwd</filename>.
The format of the password file follows those of
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename>
and
<filename>/etc/shadow</filename>.
The first field is the user name, and the second field
is the encrypted password.
The rest is completely ignored.
Thus the following three sample lines specify the same user and password pair:
<programlisting>
pg_guest:/nB7.w5Auq.BY:10031::::::
pg_guest:/nB7.w5Auq.BY:93001:930::/home/guest:/bin/tcsh
pg_guest:/nB7.w5Auq.BY:93001
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Supply the password file to the pg_passwd command.
In the case described above, after changing the working directory to
<envar>PGDATA</envar>, the following command execution specify
the new password for <literal>pg_guest</literal>:
<programlisting>
% pg_passwd passwd
Username: pg_guest
Password:
Re-enter password:
</programlisting>
where the <literal>Password:</literal>
and <literal>Re-enter password:</literal>
prompts require the same password input which are not displayed
on the terminal.
The original password file is renamed to
<filename>passwd.bk</filename>.
</para>
<para>
<application>psql</application>
uses the <option>-u</option>
option to invoke this style of
authentication.
</para>
<para>
The following lines show the sample usage of the option:
<programlisting>
% psql -h hyalos -u unv
Username: pg_guest
Password:
Welcome to the POSTGRESQL interactive sql monitor:
Please read the file COPYRIGHT for copyright terms of POSTGRESQL
type \? for help on slash commands
type \q to quit
type \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
You are currently connected to the database: unv
unv=>
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Perl5 authentication
uses the new style of the <filename>Pg.pm</filename> like this:
<programlisting>
$conn = Pg::connectdb("host=hyalos dbname=unv
user=pg_guest password=xxxxxxx");
</programlisting>
For more details, refer to
<filename>src/interfaces/perl5/Pg.pm</filename>.
</para>
<para>
Pg{tcl,tk}sh authentication
uses the
<function>pg_connect</function>
command with the
<option>-conninfo</option>
option thusly:
<programlisting>
% set conn [pg_connect -conninfo \\
"host=hyalos dbname=unv \\
user=pg_guest password=xxxxxxx "]
</programlisting>
You can list all of the keys for the option by executing the following
command:
<programlisting>
% puts [ pg_conndefaults]
</programlisting>
