Bruce Momjian 558fae16e3 The attached patch enables the contrib subtree to build cleanly under Cygwin with the possible exception of mSQL-interface. Since I don't have mSQL installed, I skipped this tool. Except for dealing with a missing getopt.h (oid2name) and HUGE (seg), the bulk of the patch uses the standard PostgreSQL approach to deal with Windows DLL issues. I tested the build aspect of this patch under Cygwin and Linux without any ill affects. Note that I did not actually attempt to test the code for functionality. The procedure to apply the patch is as follows: $ # save the attachment as /tmp/contrib.patch $ # change directory to the top of the PostgreSQL source tree $ patch -p0 </tmp/contrib.patch Jason		2001-06-18 21:38:02 +00:00

README.oid2name

With version 7.1 of PostgreSQL server,  the old naming scheme for
databases and tables (in $PGDATA/base) has changed.  The databases
are put in folders for their OID in pg_database and the tables in
that folder are named for their OIDs in pg_class.  This app connects
to the database (you can specify host, port, user, pass etc to 
connect to a host other than localhost) and extracts the OID and 
table name information.  It has 4 ways it can be run:

 pg_oid2name

  This will connect to the template1 database and display all databases
   in the system.

  $ ./pg_oid2name                                                                
  All databases:
  ---------------------------------
  18720  = test1
  1      = template1
  18719  = template0
  18721  = test
  18735  = postgres
  18736  = cssi

 pg_oid2name -d test [-x]

  This connects to the database test and shows all tables and their OIDs.

  $ ./pg_oid2name -d test                                                        
  All tables from database "test":
  ---------------------------------
  18766  = dns
  18737  = ips
  18722  = testdate

 pg_oid2name -d test -o 18737      or
 pg_oid2name -d test -t testdate

  This will connect to the database test and display the table name for oid
   18737 and the oid for table name testdate respectivly.

  $ ./pg_oid2name -d test -o 18737
  Tablename of oid 18737 from database "test":
  ---------------------------------
  18737  = ips


  $ ./pg_oid2name -d test -t testdate 
  Oid of table testdate from database "test":
  _______________________________
  18722  = testdate


There should be a decent amount of error handling in the app,  a lot of it
 dealt with via the postgres function calls.

  $ ./pg_oid2name -d nothere -t testdate 
  Oid of table testdate from database "nothere":
  _______________________________
  Connection to database 'nothere' failed.
  FATAL 1:  Database "nothere" does not exist in the system catalog.

  $ ./pg_oid2name -d test -t nothere     
  Oid of table nothere from database "test":
  _______________________________
  No tables with that name found
