7.3.1 's pgNotify structure has no member extra, is there a way to compile
and of course use pgadmin with PostgreSQL 7.x or do I have to upgrade to
8.x ? I was trying to compile 1.4.1.

regards
Gerhard

You will need to compile against a newer PostgreSQL, but the resulting
pgAdmin can be used to manage a 7.3 server.

Thanks.

So I have to live with
a) having both 7.x and 8.x libs/includes hang around
and
b) "unsupported frontend protocol" errors in the database logfile (thats 
at least what I get when I connect with the 8.x psql version.

right ?

Not if you build with --enable-static.

Yes.

How about updating to something less outdated...
Patch versions are at 7.3.12 already, for good reasons, and upgrading to 
8.1 isn't a very bad idea either.

Upgrading to 7.3.12 won't solve the "unsupported frontend protocol", and
the members for pgNotify are the same as in 7.3.1 :-(
I'd really like to upgrade, but unfortunately the DB-server is running at
least 6*24, so ther's not a lot time to upgrade and test all involved
applications (which are quite a lot)

PS: please don't send to both mailing list and directly, so I get every
mail twice :-(

I think what he means is that the .12 is a good indicator of how old the
version is.

That's the convention on all the postgresql.org lists, though you
shouldn't get multiple copies normally unless you've subscirbe with a
couple of addresses.

Upgrading to 7.3.12 should be a simple make; make install; stop and 
restart server. To perform a smooth update, you could consider using 
Slony-I to have an up-to-date replication. This would allow you to 
switch over virtually seamlessly (if your current machine is big enough, 
I doubt it when looking at your pgsql version, could be even on the same 
box).

Yeah, to be sure that *you* get the answer, and all people interested 
(and for archive's sake) see it too.

As I wrote above. An upgrade to 7.3.12 neither solves the "unsupported 
frontend protocol" nor the compilation problem, the structure pgNotify 
is exactly the same as in 7.3.1.
I think there are still a lot of 7.3.* versions out there, and they all 
have to suffer from that problems.
