Comment on PostgreSQL - Add a Column to All Tables in the Database Unless it Exists by Rez

Rez — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 08:06:52 +0000

I had error executing this.
Problem was in ALTER TABLE statement.
It requires name of the table to be in quotes.

I changed EXECUTE… line into this
EXECUTE(’ALTER TABLE “‘ || result_row.table_name ||’” ADD COLUMN customer_id int;’);

and it worked just fine.
Thanks again.

Comment on ruby-debug with Ruby 1.9.x and Rails 3 on RVM by postmodern

You can use Ruby 1.9’s built-in debugger:

require ‘debug’

Or via the command-line:

$ ruby -rdebug test.rb

Comment on White Noise Generator for Linux by MuzSolutions

MuzSolutions — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 04:07:21 +0000

fyi, this program is a lifesaver. My fiance officially loves linux simply because of this whitenoise generator and can’t sleep without it. She usually uses the brownnoise option though.

(if you omit the timecode (ie 60:00) and just type in “play -n synth brownnoise” it will play until you close the terminal.)

If you use openSUSE you could install using “sudo zypper in sox”.

By the way, for those copying these lines, the first dash following the colon should actually be two hyphens, i.e.:
BUNDLE_BUILD__LINECACHE19: [hyphen][hyphen] [hyphen][hyphen]with-ruby-etc.

(I pasted in two hyphens but this blog’s software turns them into some funny double-width hyphen character like Word does)

Using rvm tools identifier doesn’t work when you’re using a gemset. The following seems to work ok for a .bundle/config:

BUNDLE_BUILD__LINECACHE19: — –with-ruby-include=”$rvm_path/src/$(rvm tools identifier | cut -d ‘@’ -f1)”
BUNDLE_BUILD__RUBY-DEBUG-BASE19: — –with-ruby-include=”$rvm_path/src/$(rvm tools identifier | cut -d ‘@’ -f1)”
