radius authentication

Has anyone ever taken a look at adding radius authentication to
Postgresql? I know it's not terribly secure in itself, but some 2
factor authentication schemes like Cryptocard use it for verifying one
time passwords, and at least in our case having 2 factor
authentication for remote access would be really nice.

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

At least in theory, you should be able to configure PAM to talk to
Radius, and have Postgres use PAM. (If there is a Radius module for
PAM, that is).

What I think would be a nice addition to authentication mechanism would
be SASL.

I'm creating a zip code radius search. I have a general understand of how this works, but am puzzled by how to get my final list of company locations. I have setup two database tables: one with zip codes w/latitudes and longitudes and the other with company names and addresses. The user enters their zip code and the corresponding latitude and longitude is returned. I then use this to return a list of zips, latitudes and longitudes within...

I have successfully created a zip code radius search, but the performance is unacceptable. I have two tables. The first is 52K zip codes w/lat and long. The second is 3K national business addresses. Using the zip code 10010, it takes almost 60 seconds to return 122 businesses within a 25 mile radius. This slowdown is almost entirely due to the query radius distance formula.

The dll IS in that directory, so I suspect that an additional

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