Обсуждение: Client lib v. 7.3 to access 8.0 db server. Compatible ?
Hello, I mainly use PHP to access my database. The PHP in the server is compiled with postgreSQL client lib v. 7.3. I am planning to upgrade my database server (on other machine) to version 8.0. Do I need to recompile PHP to use 8.0 client, or is it compatible ? I would rather not recompile my PHP, since it's actually ship with the linux distro I'm using (RHEL 3). Thanks in advance for any info. RDB. -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept. Physics and Astronomy University of Tennesse, Knoxville, TN

In our hosting environment, we're using older pgsql client libs with postgresql 8 with no issues. -Robby -- /*************************************** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | robby@planetargon.com * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development * --- Now hosting Ruby on Rails Apps --- ****************************************/
Hi, I upgraded PostgreSQL from 7.3 via 7.4 to 8.0.1 and always used the same self compiled PHP module (well, of course I did some upgrading of PHP during that time, but never in relation to PostgreSQL releases and not between PostgreSQL releases 7.4.5 and 8.0.1), and everything worked and still works fine, so I don__t think that a recompilation or upgrade of PHP is necessary. Maybe you have to rewrite some queries, though. I am still using SuSE 8.2 with self compiled Apache and self compiled PHP on that machine. But IMHO you should check it first, e.g. build a database server on a spare machine with PG 8 and try to access it from your Webserver, before you go into production.
