Are there conflicts created if Firebird is installed to a system that already has Interbase installed. I see some mention of using the same Ports, additions to the Path, and a common program name in ISQL.exe as the command processor. I see references to FB version 1.5 documentation to resolve these, is there more updated information? Has this not been changed in current releases? If Firebird (current version) is simply installed, will Interbase installations then have problems and need work to get them working again?
1.You need to modify the port section for firebird in the conf so each will have a different port
2.when you asked about if to copy the legacy gds32 dll you need to uncheck it for firebird install setup so it will install only in it's own folder and not on the system

The ISQL.exe issue can be solved in command line with modified PATH so you can add there the Firebird install path

I'm trying to use VSCode Remote extension to connect to a remote host that runs on RHEL/CentOS 6, but it fails to connect since CentOS 6 ships with GLIBC 2.12 and GLIBCXX 3.4.1. As mentioned in this post, in order to get the extension to work, the workaround is to install GLIBC>=2.17 and GLIBCXX>=3.4.18.
Unfortunately, I don't have sudo access for the server, so I won't be able to update these libraries using the bash script provided in the link. Also, in this SO post, the author says not to update the system GLIBC since it can break down system applications. That being said, I've tried something different -- I extracted those rpm packages, as described in this blog, inside my home folder. I've then updated the env variables PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ~/.bash_profile to point to these new locations. But the node binary (in VS Code Remote) still can't find these libraries.
Is there a way to let the node binary know where to look for these libraries? More precisely, can someone explain how I can make this extension work without sudo access?
I've got it to work by installing gcc and glibc using Linuxbrew. See this post for more details: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/103#issuecomment-546551293.
Couple of things to take note of:
Node binary versions in VS Code Server may vary between commits. In the GitHub comment above, the author uses node#10 -- you may replace it with node#12; everything would still work.
Make sure glibc and gcc are properly installed using linuxbrew. This step is key.
I have installed DB2 10.1 in AIX 7.1 at /opt/IBM/db2/V10.1. But there is a script which is expecting DB2 at /opt/db2_10_1.
I am not sure if it is possible to change the directory of an installed software and if I do it, what are the points I have to keep in my mind before performing this step.
FYI- I am not an AIX or DB2 expert. I am just performing this task as instructed.
Did your instructions specify a non-default path for the Db2-installation?
(The path /opt/IBM/db2/V10.1 is a typical default for AIX )
Do not manually hack to change the installation directory of Db2, just because a script is badly written! Responsible admins would never allow such mistakes on production environments.
It is an error for a script to hard-code a Db2-installation path. That script should be coded correctly to determine the Db2-installation path, or to have that information provided via configuration or arguments.
A possible option is to create a symbolic link so that /opt/db2_10_1 points to the real path at /opt/IBM/db2/V10.1 , but this is not guaranteed to work for all situations, it depends on how badly written is the script - so other different errors may appear later from that script (although Db2 itself will function normally).
A separate matter is that it is unwise to install a Db2 version that is already out of support (end of life). Does the business understand the consequences of installing an out-of-support version? (unless the business has purchased an extended support contract from IBM).
You have to make new install
stop instance
rename sqllib directory
recreate instance using db2icrt in new binaries in install directory
import catalogued database with db2cfimp previously exported using db2cfexp
I've had as few issues trying to upgrade postgresql-server. I've reverted back to the older version now (9.0.3) and the service is running and accessible via pgadmin/other gui tools.
However, I can't access it via the psql command (as user postgres). This may be possibly because the psql binary seems to be missing. I feel this may have happened when I uninstalled a version of postgres that I had intended to revert to.
I can't reinstall version 9.0.3 because the repo is no longer valid.
Is there any way I can install only the psql binary file and nothing else. I was considering copying the psql binary file from another server, although because the other servers have different versions of postgresql, I'm not sure if this is a good idea (?)
I think psql binaries didn't disapear from your system.
It's just that you had symbolic links from /usr/bin to your 9.0.3 binaries.
When you installed a newer version, this links where replaced to point to the new version and when you uninstalled it, they were dropped.
Try locate to find your binaries. Then you would be able to recreate your symbolic links in /usr/bin.
If you want to try 9.0.3 - you can always build it from source:
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v9.0.3/
But many distros package pqsl-client seperate from the server and you can use a newer version of psql instead (or at least try).
There are also archives of almost any distro out there and you could fetch that single rpm/deb packge from there.
I am trying to set up a new postgres odbc connection for an application.
This is done on 32-bit Windows 7 system. I installed latest postgresql 9.6 & psqlodbc 0905, and there were no errors. When I add the odbc connection string and test connectivity with postgres login, it fails with the following error:
Test connection failed because of an error in initialized provider.
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 182:
(PostgreSQL UNICODE, C:\Program
Files\psqlODBC\0905\bin\psqlodbc35w.dll)
Here's the connection string:
Driver={PostgreSQL
UNICODE};Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;Database=postgres;
Uid=postgres;Pwd=postgres;
I then installed Visual C++ redistributable packager versions 2008 and 2010 later. Rebooted the box. Still same issue.
Postgres + odbc + other installs were complete and without any errors.
This is getting too frustrating.
Please.. any ideas on how to fix this will be helpful.?!
Update: I have tested the following:
1. Installed older postgres & psdqlodbc version
2. Added psqlodbc path to PATH env variable at the start
3. Uninstalled standalone psqlodbc installs, and installed Stackbuilder from postgresql package to download and install psqlodbc component.
All of these have not not been any useful.
Final Update: I was able to fix this by using psqlodbc_09_03_0400. For whatever reason, other versions kept throwing error.
Apparently, according to the Microsoft index of error codes, error 182 means ERROR_INVALID_ORDINAL, which with the help of this answer I believe means that the postgresql ODBC driver is loading another DLL and trying to call a function within it that does not exist.
The most likely cause for this would be that the system is loading a wrong version of a DLL on which psqlodbc depends. In fact I found this thread where someone else was having the same issue (although back in 2005).
This could happen if you had installed some other package containing one of the DLLs that psqlodbc relies on, or maybe even another version of psqlodbc.
Try changing the windows search path to put the directory containing the psqlodbc drivers at the front to confirm if this is the case. If that works you might want to try to narrow the problem down until you can find exactly what DLL is conflicting, and if possible remove it.
It is also possible that there is some packaging issue with the psqlodbc package you are using - if that is the case you could try uninstalling that one and installing an earlier version.
Final Update: I was able to fix this by using psqlodbc_09_03_0400. For whatever reason, other versions kept throwing error.
I want to write application which uses Postgresql as DBMS.
To write client application do I need libpq library and header files?
If yes where I would get libpq library and header files.
Libpq is included in the full PostgreSQL source code. You can use just libpq without the rest of PostgreSQL, but must download the full package.
You can download it from the PostgreSQL Downloads page.
Once you extract the full package it is inside src\interfaces\libpq.
The PostgreSQL installation guide details how to install only the client libraries in the Installation section, under Client-only installation.
Libpq documentation is also available.
In postgresql sources, src\interfaces\libpq.
And yes, it is possible to compile only the libpq.
get the lipq from repo, {for debian} :
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
I was also facing this issue but didn't got a clear answer:
This issue clearly states that while installing diesel-cli system is not able to locate libpq.lib
First of all you should have a Postgres installed on your machine.
Also diesel require visual c++, thus download and install it if not already, the size of setup will be ~5gb.
Once above installations are done you need to setup environment variables:
In my case path of Postgres installation is C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL thus add 2 environment variable path under User variables add new in Path where your libpq.lib is located in my case it is available in both C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\lib and C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin
Once this is added create one more environment variable PQ_LIB_DIR and set path as shown below
Note: Once done re-trigger the installation command in a new cmd window
Source: pq-sys and github-solution
For Windows users, it's in (version may be different)
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\lib
There you find libpq.lib. Provide this directory to Linker input.
Don't forget to include C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\include directory for include directories.
I fix this problem reccently. This is a solution if you don't want to install Postgres in you windows.
At first, you need download Postgres Binaries. The version I download is 13.6, but it's seems like any version is fine.
Unzip the zip file.Copy libpq.lib from pgsql\lib to shomewhere like C:\Program Files\Postgres\lib.
Execute the following command in cmd window.
setx PQ_LIB_DIR "{where_you_copy_to}"
Open a new cmd windows and install diesel_cli
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres
In linux vertify you get the libpq.
1st, there is an app: pg_config: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgconfig.html
after you found out the pg_config absolute bin path.(if you installed multi version of postgressql) Then You can get
--includedir
Print the location of C header files of the client interfaces.
--libdir
Print the location of object code libraries.
Then try to compile/build some example code: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-example.html
Some common failure example: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-build.html
You can install Postgres locally from https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads but select only "Command line tools" for install.
After that, you can found libpq.dll in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin
