CLASS="LITERAL"
>gmake check</TT
>
before installing the new version, you might find that the tests fail
because the new programs try to use the already-installed shared
libraries. (Typical symptoms are complaints about undefined symbols.)
If you wish to run the tests before overwriting the old installation,
you'll need to build with <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>configure --disable-rpath</TT

It is not recommended that you use this option for the final installation,
however.
</P

> The parallel regression test starts quite a few processes under your
user ID. Presently, the maximum concurrency is twenty parallel test
scripts, which means forty processes: there's a server process and a
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>psql</SPAN
> process for each test script.
So if your system enforces a per-user limit on the number of processes,
make sure this limit is at least fifty or so, else you might get
random-seeming failures in the parallel test. If you are not in
a position to raise the limit, you can cut down the degree of parallelism
by setting the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>MAX_CONNECTIONS</TT
> parameter. For example:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>gmake MAX_CONNECTIONS=10 check</PRE

considerations are the same as previously explained for each method.
Note that <TT

>gmake check-world</TT

more time and disk space than <TT

</P

<TT

>30.1.4. Locale and Encoding</A
></H2
><P
> By default, tests using a temporary installation use the
locale defined in the current environment and the corresponding
database encoding as determined by <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>initdb</TT
>. It
can be useful to test different locales by setting the appropriate
environment variables, for example:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>gmake check LANG=C
gmake check LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.utf8</PRE
><P>
For implementation reasons, setting <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>LC_ALL</TT
> does not
work for this purpose; all the other locale-related environment
variables do work.
</P
><P
> When testing against an existing installation, the locale is
determined by the existing database cluster and cannot be set
separately for the test run.
</P
><P
> You can also choose the database encoding explicitly by setting
the variable <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>ENCODING</TT
>, for example:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>gmake check LANG=C ENCODING=EUC_JP</PRE
><P>
Setting the database encoding this way typically only makes sense
if the locale is C; otherwise the encoding is chosen automatically
from the locale, and specifying an encoding that does not match
the locale will result in an error.
</P
><P
> The database encoding can be set for tests against either a temporary or
an existing installation, though in the latter case it must be
compatible with the installation's locale.

run by default, because they might be platform-dependent or take a
very long time to run. You can run these or other extra test
files by setting the variable <TT

>EXTRA_TESTS</TT

example, to run the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>numeric_big</TT

</P><PRE

platforms, and only when run in a database that uses UTF-8 encoding.

>30.1.6. Testing Hot Standby</A
></H2
><P
> The source distribution also contains regression tests for the static
behavior of Hot Standby. These tests require a running primary server
and a running standby server that is accepting new WAL changes from the
primary (using either file-based log shipping or streaming replication).
Those servers are not automatically created for you, nor is replication
setup documented here. Please check the various sections of the
documentation devoted to the required commands and related issues.
</P
><P
> To run the Hot Standby tests, first create a database
called <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>regression</TT
> on the primary:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>psql -h primary -c "CREATE DATABASE regression"</PRE
><P>
Next, run the preparatory script
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>src/test/regress/sql/hs_primary_setup.sql</TT
>
on the primary in the regression database, for example:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>psql -h primary -f src/test/regress/sql/hs_primary_setup.sql regression</PRE
><P>
Allow these changes to propagate to the standby.
</P
><P
> Now arrange for the default database connection to be to the standby
server under test (for example, by setting the <TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>PGHOST</TT
> and
<TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>PGPORT</TT
> environment variables).
Finally, run <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>gmake standbycheck</TT
> in the regression directory:
</P><PRE
CLASS="SCREEN"
>cd src/test/regress
gmake standbycheck</PRE
><P>
</P
><P
> Some extreme behaviors can also be generated on the primary using the
script <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>src/test/regress/sql/hs_primary_extremes.sql</TT
>
to allow the behavior of the standby to be tested.
