PGfs Codebase? even old version????

[Matt Dent]

Does ANYBODY know where I can get my hands on the GPL'd PGfs (Postgres
File System) code? I saw a note in the archives from 2002 that nobody
has seen it in 'years'... and I've just spent over 2 1/2 hours scouring
the net to the best of my ability and can't find it -- nor an
explanation as to why it's no longer available ANYWHERE!

Anybody know of a similar project out there -- or why this fell off the
face of the earth? (Patents maybe?)

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

I have never heard of it, and I have been involved for eight years.

Sorry but it seems to me that it has nothing to do with PostgreSQL :-(
except the the name similarity

Cheers

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

[Adam Alkins]

IIRC, the pgfs project was abandoned quite some time ago. wvfs was it's
replacement, but both have disappeared completely from wv's site. Why
not try emailing the author? bb at wv dot com

Something of interest is http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlfs/ , the
code is in CVS.

Regards,
Adam

A couple of points,

1: One might want to look at the global file system, which i think is
still in some kind of active development.

2: Remember when the whole firebirdSQL thing went down and we said no
would ever use the same name as our database for another project??? haha.
The universe proves to be more strange and twisted than we had at first
thought.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ***@postgresql.org)
