Keep your libraries updated and nobody gets hurt

May 14, 2020/0 Comments/in Jimmy's Planet PostgreSQL /by Jimmy Angelakos

Don’t make people practice software archaeology – keep your system updated. Updates? One of the benefits of the open-source world is the unmatched ability to issue updates rapidly to correct bugs and security vulnerabilities. Software bug fixes keep streaming in: from recently introduced regressions, to long-standing bugs undetected for years, they are corrected by a […]

Using the PostgreSQL TAP framework in extensions

April 10, 2017/3 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringer

Support for using the TAP protocol to run extended regression tests was added to PostgreSQL back in 9.4 with the adoption of Perl’s prove tool and Test::More to test initdb, pg_basebackup, etc. Since then the TAP-based tests have been greatly expanded, particularly with the advent of the src/test/recovery tests and the PostgresNode module in PostgreSQL […]

Although I cannot find any record of an actual patch in the mailing list archives, Peter Eisentraut committed it some time later, and applied further refinements later. Today I’m announcing a new […]

Postgres and devops: testing 9.3 with Vagrant and Puppet – part two

November 4, 2013/2 Comments/in Gabriele's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Gabriele Bartolini

In a previous blog post, I have gone through the steps of setting up a basic CentOS 6.4 64bit Linux distribution using Vagrant on your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Linux. We will continue digging in the devops culture/movement and finally setup PostgreSQL 9.3 using Puppet in a local virtual machine.

Testing new PostgreSQL versions without messing up your existing install

August 30, 2013/8 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringer

People are often hesitant to test out a new PostgreSQL release because they’re concerned it’ll break their current working installation. This is a perfectly valid concern, but it’s easily resolved with a few simple protective measures: Build PostgreSQL from source as an unprivileged user Install your PostgreSQL build within that user’s home directory Run PostgreSQL […]
