<elwis> question: I'm really getting tired of MySQL .. does anyone know of a good "quickstart" Postgresql site?
*** SachaS has quit IRC
*** sjc has joined #gnuenterprise
*** reinhard has joined #gnuenterprise
<elwis> Arrghh .. how are you supposed to get postgres going? It doesn't care about my pg_hba entry :(
*** kilo has joined #gnuenterprise
<kilo> good morning
<reinhard> elwis: you restarted postgres?
*** johannesV has joined #gnuenterprise
<reinhard> elwis: you run debian packages, right?
<reinhard> there should be a /usr/share/doc/gnue-common/hints.postgresql.txt
<johannesV> good morning
<kilo> hi johannesV
<reinhard> good morning
<johannesV> i'm about to start my win-notebook launching delphi 6 :)
<johannesV> ms-sqlserver 2000 is already running *lol*
<kilo> woaaa
<johannesV> i didn't remember a programmer's life without gnu ...
<johannesV> it's kinda slow ...
<elwis> reinhard: Hello, and no, not on the office machine.. SuSe 9.2.
<elwis> I tried gabors wikipage about postgres & appserver.. didn't work ;)
<elwis> ..but postgres seem to be up and running, time to buy a book
<elwis> mysql on suse couldn't handle innodb tables, so no foreign keys.. bye bye there!
<reinhard> elwis: fyi gabor == kilo
<reinhard> if you installed from source, you should also find a hints.postgresql.txt in some doc directory
<reinhard> easiest would be in doc subdir of the source tarball
<kilo> fyi that wiki page was written based on a talk between Sacha and holycow
<kilo> as i have no postgres experience at all...
<elwis> reinhard: I used yast, but I found something to read .. better watch out for the boss though :)
<reinhard> yast?
<reinhard> to install gnue?
<elwis> Ah, sorry.. thought you meant postgres..
<elwis> there you are my postgres file.. inside gnue-common just waiting for me!
<elwis> thanks reinhard
<lekma> does anybody know of a somewhat up to date doc on reports
<lekma> ?
<kilo> nope
<lekma> what i read in doc folder
<lekma> and what i see in samples
<kilo> ask btami or jamest or jcater
<ajmitch> hi
<lekma> is really inconsistent
<lekma> thx kilo
<kilo> i think btami will be here only tomorrow
<lekma> kilo: do you know how to pass a parameter to a report on the command line?
<lekma> ok on win32 you have quote it (ie gnue-reports test.grd "param=value")
<lekma> is it possible to pass a list of values to a command-line parameter?
<kilo> lekma: dunno how
*** dcmwai has quit IRC
<elwis> yahoo .. three years later i found out the magic of \dt .. they really should write those in the doc .. :(
<elwis> *sorry* got OT.. *whining*
<elwis> I wanted to brag for my colleauge so I tried firing up the sample "contacts.gpd"
<elwis> DB000: 0:01:23.917 [GTrigger:291] Invalid trigger  ON-SWITCH
<elwis> DB000: 0:01:23.920 [GTrigger:291] Invalid trigger  PRE-COMMIT
<elwis> killed
<elwis> Not working?
<kilo> where is contacts.gpd
<elwis> sel@SuSE92:~/gnue/gnue-forms-0.5.11.99+svn.20050309/samples/track>
<elwis> not a nice place?
<kilo> i am not sure it that works...
*** lekma has quit IRC
*** lekma has joined #gnuenterprise
<elwis> Is it possible to try out any of the examples?
<elwis> that is ..on suse using svn version (they all work well on the Ubuntu box)
<kilo> not much experience on suse afaik
<kilo> try the zipcode example
<kilo> i know that is working for sure
<kilo> but how to set it up on suse... i dunno
<elwis> I suppose I'm going to run that .gsd file with some nice software
<kilo> svn version?
<elwis> gnue-forms-0.5.11.99+svn.20050309
<kilo> you need gsscvs to chew .gsd files
<elwis> gsscvs?? is what?
<kilo> gnue-schema-blahblah
<elwis> Ok, I found something like that, thanx

<elwis> yahoo - happiness is all around

*** dimas has joined #gnuenterprise
<kilo> elwis: do you want to talk about it? 8-))
<elwis> kilo: Sssshh.. I'm singning at my office :)
<kilo> better than singing in the rain...
<elwis> signing == singing, see how happy I am ;)
<elwis> I'm not sure, maybe my boss comes by and wonders what's so fun about building accounting-routines
<elwis> sad I couldn't get the pywin odbc routine to work, then I could sell a customer solution based on GNUe and do this all day long :)
*** johannesV_ has joined #gnuenterprise
<kilo> try adodbapi
<elwis> kilo: yes you gave me some example yesterday, I'm not sure hoiw to use it?
<elwis> we have a odbc driver written in house
<elwis> all I got is a DSN name? this worked with old gnue versions
<kilo> only the name of the dsn?
<kilo> hmm
<kilo> dunno
<kilo> btami used to do such things
<kilo> but i should also take a look at it
<kilo> as a pilot project
<elwis> well, that's how Im using it, through the DSN name
*** johannesV has quit IRC
<kilo> i think i could find a customer with mssql
<kilo> that could use gnue
<elwis> faircom database-engine
<kilo> now i must write VB programmes for them
<elwis> your working as a consultant?
<kilo> dont know what that means exactly
<kilo> my little firm has a contract with a customer, for a monthly fee i got to develop and maintain some software they use
<kilo> and maintain their network too
<elwis> kilo: you'r probably right, that was swenglish i'm afraid ;)
<elwis> sounds lika nice job, I'd rather do that too.. i hope i could start out with something
<kilo> no, "consultant" in Hungary can mean anything...
<elwis> aha.. that's what you meant. so that was a correct term after all?
<kilo> dunno 8-)))

<elwis> documenting documenting, could someone explain the tag "requery" in five words ;) .. reinhard did the other day but my memory...is a joke
<elwis> I remewmber requery were NOT prequery, and requery didn't do much good.. did it?
<jamest_> if you commit something
<jamest_> then after the commit the record is requeried from the backend
<jamest_> that way if a trigger in the backend changed the data the changes are known about immediately
<jamest_> requery in last release doesn't work IIRC
<jamest_> but i think it is working to some extent in svn head
<elwis> oki, then it really does something useful, I'll put it in my guide :)
<jamest_> if you're writing a guide
<jamest_> we'd be interested in it :)
<jamest_> there is the start of one in the docs dir
<elwis> You bet, I'l put it on the wiki
<jamest_> or the wiki would be nice too
<jamest_> :)
<elwis> someone will need to check it first though..
<elwis> to make sure that my jokes aren't too lousy.... ;)
<elwis> one block == one datasource or are there any reasons to do it other ways? Two blocks == datasource for example?
<jamest_> you could do that
<elwis> any good reasons to?
<jamest_> not in the current generation of gnue forms
<jamest_> older ones it may have been more useful
<elwis> 14 pages, and such a splendid guide that... could have been ...

<elwis> if my english were better and my way of writing readable
<elwis> anyway, if someone feels like having a glance you could tell me, if it gets some x-tra work it might be useful on the website!?
