A small Password Manager server for PGSQL
Hi all,
I just finished with a little password manager workaround for Postgres
and I'd like to tell you to use it. Comments are welcome! I hope I could
do something with this user authentication and password altering misery.
Here is the URL where you can download it from:

Thanks in advance and regards,
Peter Blazso
How will the new numeric type appear in Perl? Will it be a string or
what?
Should be a string - or is Perl capable of handling numbers
with hundreds of digits before and after the decimal point
(ALL SIGNIFICANT)?
AFAIK, only tools like bc(1) or when using some arbitrary
precision packages from inside an application (where numbers
are usually handled as strings for I/O) can operate correctly
on such precise things.

Looks like not, unless I'm forgetting a feature...

That's why I asked. So I hope it will be compatible with Perl's
Math-BigInteger module.

NUMERIC isn't INTEGER data!
Well - you can define an attribute as NUMERIC(33,0) and all
values assigned to that column will be rounded to the closest
integer (an integer that can hold values up to 999
quintillions exactly). But as soon as you do calculations
with other values that have fractions, there will a decimal
point and digits after that appear in the result. Don't know
how Perl might respond to it. Maybe you need to round the
result explicitly on calculations.

Oh, btw numeric() seems to work great on my Linux/libc5 box. The last
time I reported that it had troubles...
