OK, replying to myself here :-)
Anoop: I've attached a new Makefile for Win32. This allows the user to specify the PostgreSQL lib as well as include directories, and defaults them both the the standard locations used by pgInstaller which should apply to most users. I've not committed your patches yet, so for ease of future application, if you can merge any fixes/updates back into your code for the time being. Once everything looks like it's going well (hopefully in the next few days), we can commit and work from CVS from then on.
The other problem I spotted almost instantly that is a show stopper for me before I even think about a test release, is that null dates are coming through as todays date. For example, in one of my apps, a non-null scrap_date column indicates that a piece of equipment has been scrapped. Currently all our kit appears to have been scrapped today or earlier! I haven't looked into why this is happening as I'm quite busy ATM, but I'm guessing it won't be too hard to track down.
As an aside to the other list members: this update is very large and most definately requires extensive testing, so when the demo is ready, please download it and hammer it as much as possible. If anyone has some spare time and wants to work on a regression test suite, that would be of immense value to the project.

Hi Anoop,
Wow, that's some size of patch (and great to see - well done to you and your colleagues at Pervasive)! I think the best bet is for me to produce a test build that we can then distribute for people on the list to test. I'll try to do that today or tomorrow.
Are you ready for the inevitable flood of bug reports? :-)
Regards, Dave.
Hi,
Here is the patch for the libpq enabled psqlodbc. Please provide your suggestions and feedbacks on this to help improving the performance and rectifying other issues.
It is just the first step towards a more efficient and stable psqlodbc, and needs a lot of improvements which heavily depends on the contributions from the community.
libpqconnection.h, attached as a separate file should be added to the source folder.
Thanks and Regards
Anoop Kumar
