Within the Update or Delete trigger, the bar code of the original row
is available as OLD.barcode. For Update and Insert triggers, the new
record's barcode is available as NEW.barcode.

I would like to add a couple of startup options to postgresql on my system,
but am having difficulty modifying the RedHat startup scripts (in
/etc/rc.d/init.d)

I would like to add -i to allow network connections and -l for ssl traffic

I think the line to modify is:
su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p
/usr/bin/postmaster start > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null

I tried
su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p
`/usr/bin/postmaster -i` start > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null
and
su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p
'/usr/bin/postmaster -i' start > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null
and
su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p
/usr/bin/postmaster -o "i" start > /dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null

with no luck

Suggestions?

I have a trigger on a table called stock_count (which has a column
barcode) which needs to update a value in a table called theoretical_stock_count on either an insert,
update or delete. However, I need to pass the barcode of the
inserted/updated/deleted row to the function I am calling. Is there any
way to do this?

I am trying to get postgresql started by remote login.
Ran this script

#!/bin/sh
exec /bin/su - postgres -c "/usr/bin/postmaster -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data -i -B 4096 >>
/usr/local/pgsql/server.log 2>&1" /dev/null

And get this result:
/usr/bin/postmaster does not find the database system.
Expected to find it in the PGDATA directory
"/usr/local/pgsql/data
", but unable to open file with pathname
"/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1/pg_class".

pg_class doesn't seem to be on the box although when I
was
physically present at the computer I think I was able
to
run psql and create a database.

So I guess are there some programs that I can run
remotely (as root or whatever) to get the postgres
files set up?

Thanks, Tom
