Re: Bug in all version with encryption

Thanks for your reply.

As per your suggestion, if we remove "CREATE FUNCTION" statement, we
cannot use that function.

Actually, we need this feature.

Can you pls suggest some url or docs to help us in developing the
c-language code to rectify this as we had done earlier for pgsql7.4.2.

And pls provide us with new macros introduced in 8.2.5 later to 7.4.2,
so that it can help us in our coding very mush

Thanks in advice.

Regards,

G. V. Suresh Gupta

this does not look like a postgres bug to me.

Offhand, it looks like your database loads custom functions from the

shared object library /usr/lib/pgsql_clcrypt.so which was probably built

for your older 7.4... you'd either need to rebuild that library to be

8.2 compatible, or remove the CREATE FUNCTION statements that reference

it (and modify any SQL code you have which calls these

blowfish_encrypt() etc functions...)
