Post installation

Hi,

I've been using the pager_query() method succesfully to create a table with database results split over multiple pages.
In that case i use a simple "SELECT * FROM table" query.

But now i want to create a similar table, but the sql query includes a WHERE clause...
I've checked here, but the pager_query() method doesn't seem to take parameter values.

I just downloaded and installed Drupal 4.6.3 and started playing around with the whole system. I read the handbook on creating modules. I decided to learn how to use Drupal to develop enterprise level sites.

I have a few questions:

How do I make drupal faster?
I noticed that drupal logs every login, logout, error, etc. Even this seems useful at the beginning, I do not want this to be active all of the time. How do I disable this logging feature?

Does anyone know if there is a store locator module for Drupal. I did not find one in the modules section. Essentially I want to be able to type in a zip code and then locate the nearest store located to a user interested in the products I will be trying to sell.

I'm running Drupal 4.6 with og.module. I have created ~150 nodes with UID=1, which I would like now to be owned by UID=7. In hindsight, I don't want to be using UID=1 for everyday tasks, only higher-level admin functions.

Is performing this mass-change of ownership as easy as updating the node table? I can change all instances of UID=1 to UID=7 with a simple SQL query.

Or is doing this asking for trouble?

I tried searching the Drupal.org fora, but found no definitive answer.

Thanks in advance,
Bjorn

If I restrict a block's visibility by content type, then it will not show up on any index pages. How do I get a block to only show up on the blog index and all blog entries? There doesn't seem to be any way at all to do that right now.

Is there a way to allow users access to drupal content via http auth ? The reason I ask is that I want people to access certain protected feeds (i.e. only authenticated users) using RSS readers etc.
