I am using PGADMIN III v1.1.0 Windows to set up PostgreSQL tables on a
Linux Server, RedHat 9. Every time I create a character field, even just
one character wide, the PGADMIN uses EXTENDED as the default storage type.
Is this normal? I can't find anything about why this would be done in the
PostgreSQL documentation or the Internet. It seems to me it will be very
messy if every character field is in a secondary table. I would have
thought the EXTENDED would only be for very large character fields.

Yes, this is the standard behavior.

No, you are misunderstandin g. EXTENDED storage *allows* Postgres to
move large field values out to a secondary table. If a particular entry
is not large, then it won't be moved out.
Choosing one of the other storage options restricts Postgres from moving
data out, which can make things faster but also exposes you to a risk of
"row too large" errors. So I'd not recommend doing it unless you are
quite sure you know what you're doing and what your data will look like.

Hello,
Is there a portable (at least for VC.Net and g++) method to convert text
between
wchar_t and char, using the standard library? I may have missed something
obvious, but the section on codecvt, in Josuttis' "The Standard C++
Library", did not help, and I'm still awaiting delivery of Langer's
"Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales".
Thanks,

Hi All,
I've a problem using PGAdmin III. When I click on one of my functions the
definition pane shows an empty function (with the correct header and footer
but with no body). Pg_dump shows everything correctly. What can be the
problem.
My other problem is that PGAdmin won't handle '?' (euro) sign. It shows the
previously correctly enterd data (by means of other tools) but it won't
insert or update it in the correct way. It shows a '?'...

I want to use pgadmin to set up some tables, rather than do all the
psql statements from the terminal.
When I try to add a server, though, pgadmin fails to connect, and asks
whether the server is accepting TCP/IP connections on the default
port, and whether localhost is the correct servername.
I assume that both of these ARE set to the defaults, because if I

Hello,
I tried several books to find out the details of object
initialization. Unfortunately, I'm still confused by two specific
concepts, namely default-initialization and value-initialization. I
think default-init calls default constructor for class objects and
sets garbage values to PODs. Value-init also calls default
constructor for class objects and sets 0s to POD types. This is what
I've learned from the books (especially...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
