I need to have an exact copy of a postgres install on a testing
computer. I don't want to do slony. Is it feasible/reasonable to think
that I could just rsync to the devel boxen from the pg server? Or is
slony "The Way to Do It"(tm)?

If you shutdown the database cluster before doing the rsync that will work.

If you just need a working copy, not necessarily right up to date at any
time, you can just dump and restore it:
pg_dumpall -h source_server |psql -h dest_server
add switches as necessary.

That would be great for the first time. But what I want to do is copy ~postgresql/data, stomping/deleting as necessary. Roughly, my thinking is a daily cron job on the server:
rm -rf /safe/dir/data /etc/init.d/postgresql stop tar czf - -C ~postgres data | tar xzf - -C /safe/dir/ /etc/init.d/postgresql start
And a client script:
/etc/init.d/postgresql stop rm -rf ~postgres/data ssh user@server tar czf - -C /safe/dir data|tar xvzf - -C ~postgres /etc/init.d/postgresql start
Or something similar with rsync instead of tar.
Assuming there's only one or two databases in the cluster, it would be
pretty easy to just do a
dropdb -h dest dbname1
dropdb -h dest dbname2
createdb dbname1
createdb dbname2
pg_dump -h source dbname1|psql -h dest
pg_dump -h source dbname2|psql -h dest
That way there's no need to take down the source server or do anything
special to it.

I was wondering if there was a way to create a copy of a table in a

Oracle, there is a "CREATE TABLE new-table AS select-statement" that I
can use to accomplish this.
Is there a similar statement in DB2? I found a similar syntax

new table would remain tied to the original source in some way.

I know I should not be doing this, but I find it very useful. I have a
database in Access which stores data for a small company. Sometimes we
need to add similar information to different tables. Currently I am
already doing something similar by copying certain records into the
same table. The only thing that changes is one field.
Please look at the code:

This also only seems to happen when the server has not been rebooted for a

times and it's not every order. Some will come in fine the next one gets
duped, the next couple are fine, then another dupe or two, etc. ...

I have a webapp that allows users to delete/add content on a webpage.
The webpage is accessed like this:

where index.aspx is the default page. To do the above though requires
creating a new user subfolder, copying the index.aspx page from the app

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