Обсуждение: IANA registration
PostgreSQL typically uses port 5432 for client-server communications. It would be a good idea to register this with IANA. This will help to avoid a clash with other services that might try to use the port. DB2, Interbase, MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, etc. are already registered. Might someone with a reasonable grasp of the low level messages in PostgreSQL care to submit a registration? http://www.iana.org/ http://www.iana.org/cgi-bin/usr-port-number.pl http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/port-numbers -- Pete Forman -./\.- Disclaimer: This post is originated WesternGeco -./\.- by myself and does not represent pete.forman@westerngeco.com -./\.- opinion of Schlumberger, Baker http://www.crosswinds.net/~petef -./\.- Hughes or their divisions.

They seem to want a particular person's name as contact, so I suppose one of the core group should do it. Has anyone already initiated the process; if not, shall I? regards, tom lane

BTW, I was thinking that rather than filling in their webform in any detail, it'd make the most sense to just supply a link to our protocol documentation, presently http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/postgres/protocol.htm or http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/protocol.html Even though the latter is nominally unstable docs, the URL doesn't have built-in obsolescence in it ;-) Maybe we should arrange for a more stable path to the "current release" docs, ie a symlink without a version number? regards, tom lane

Marc? They ask for some (high level) details on the protocol features/packet format. If Tom (or someone; could be me but I've been swamped) could help out with a few sentences, we'll get this done a bit faster ;) Presumably for port 5432 it is just the connection handshake stuff... - Thomas
