Hex representation

От

Hello,

Does anyone know what the format of hex characters for postgres are?
I'm trying to create files that contain a 0x55.  It looks to me like
it should require a delimiter of some sort between the characters.  I
don't know how postgres would know that the string was a hex
representation and not just a character zero, followed by a character
x, followed by a character 5, followed by a character 5.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS

Look for "Also supported are \digits,..." in section "4.1.2.1. String Constants".

I used this very simple little php script to make this

filename: mk55:
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
for ($i=0;$i<262144;$i++){
    print chr(85);
}
?>

and ran it:

./mk55 > 55

ls -l 55
-rw-r--r-- 1 smarlowe smarlowe 262144 2008-09-24 13:41 55

i.e. it's 256k.

And it's attached.

Or, using standard *nix tools (Note: 0x55 = ascii U):
dd bs=1k count=256 if=/dev/zero | tr '\000' U  > full_of_0x55

Hi Steve,

That's a cool way to do it.  I wish I thought of it.
Here's yet another way by java:

public class lotsofhex55 {

        public static void main (String[] argv) {

                char myHex55;
                myHex55 = (char) 0x55;

                        // replace 256 with 262144 after testing
                for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
                   System.out.print (myHex55);
                }
        } // end main()
} // end class

Well, it was a bit convoluted, but I created the file with Excel,
filling the right number of cells with \x55.  This worked too.  The
script wouldn't run for me.  I got an error about a "bad interpreter".

Change the shbang line to match where your php in installed (if it is at

I liked Steve Crawford's idea, a good one liner but I could not get it
to work on sunos, version (Generic_118558-35).  Worked on HPUX.

Just using basic shell scripting, the following are another way of doing it.

Using bash, it can be done like this:
--- Start u.sh ---
#!/usr/local/bin/bash  <- change to output of "which bash"
max=`expr 256 \* 1024`
for (( i=0; i<$max; ++i )) ; do
  echo -n U   <- depends on system, try print
done
--- End u.sh ---
E.g
./u.sh > losOfUs.txt
% xd losOfUs.txt | less
0000000 5555 5555 5555 5555 5555 5555 5555 5555
*
0040000

Or ksh or sh
--- Start u.sh ---
#!/bin/ksh  <- change to output of "which ksh"
max=`expr 256 \* 1024`
i=0
while [ $i -lt $max ] ; do
  print -n U
  i=`expr $i + 1`
done
--- End u.sh ---
./u.sh > losOfUs.txt
od -x losOfUs.txt | less
0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*

I can't resist one-liner games.

$ perl -e 'print "U"x(256*1024)' >Us

or, if you specifically want to specify hex:
$ perl -e 'print chr(hex(55))x(256*1024)' >Us

This is working:

#!/bin/sh

for MAJ in 0 1 2 3 ; do
  for MIN in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F ; do
    for HEX in $(seq 1 262144) ; do
      echo -n \x55 >>00${MAY}${MIN}
    done
  done
done

which should create your missing pg_clog files
