PL/PerlU problems executing other scripts


Hi,

I have a problem with a PL/PerlU function trying to execute an external
perl script.

The script is suid to a non-root user and I am executing it in the
PL/PerlU function as so :

$rc = system "/usr/bin/suidperl", "-T", "/usr/local/bin/script.pl";

The script doesn't go off, and the return code is printed out as 6400.
Executing the same script this way from the command line or a standalone
perl interpreter runs just fine.

I am running the Redhat Database version of Postgres (which equates to
7.2.3) on Redhat 8.0.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to ma*******@postg resql.org)

Anyone playing with the CPython interpreter's new command line switch might have noticed that it only works with top-level modules (i.e. scripts that are directly on sys.path). If the script is inside a package, the invocation will fail with a "Module not found" error. This PEP is aimed at fixing that :) Cheers, Nick.

Python 2.4's -m command line switch only works for modules directly on sys.path. Trying to use it with modules inside packages will fail with a "Module not found" error. This PEP aims to fix that for Python 2.5. Previously, posting of a draft version of the PEP to python-dev and python-list didn't actually generate any responses. I'm not sure if that's an indication that people don't see the restriction to top-level modules as a problem...

We currently send product releases to our customers, and often have to include scripts that need to be ran on the Oracle databases (also do it for SqlServer customers, but we use a different set of scripts for that). Some of the Sql scripts can be quite long, and so we break them out to their own script files and call them all from one main ..sql file, using sqlplus to execute it all. The admin would run the file like:

Hello! We have a set of individual .SQL scripts which we would like to execute against a MS SQL Server 2000. Is there any way to have ISQL utility (or any other means) to execute all of them without having to establish a separate database connection for each script: isql -Ux -Py -Ss -i script1.sql isql -Ux -Py -Ss -i script2.sql isql -Ux -Py -Ss -i script3.sql

I'm working on a web site that could use some control using js but am concerned about what problems I may have with potential users having their js turned off. Has anyone had any serious problems with this sort of thing? I know some of these potential users are with big companies and am wondering if anyone had real problems with that.

I have one script (Match1) that calls a Fortran executable as a sub-process, and I want to write another script (Match4) that spawns off several instances of Match1 in parallel and then waits until they all finish running. The only way I can think of doing this is to call it as a sub-process, rather than directly. I'm able to get Match1 working correctly in isolation, using the subprocess.Popen command, but calling an instance of Match1...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
