Обсуждение: XML Support
Hello, I'm trying to use XML with PG, and I a descriptioin of the XML support for PostgreSQL at http://www.throwingbeans.org/postgresql_and_xml_updated.html As I could not find the mentioned package in my Windows installation (8.1.3) I thought I'd give the package from that website a try even though it says it's for 8.0 I copied all the .dll from the archive to $libdir and after restarting PG I tried to create the necessary functions using the supplied SQL script. But when running the supplied script, I get an error message: ERROR: could not load library "D:/Programme/Postgres/lib/libpgxml.dll": The library is definitely available at that location. I tried to copy the .dll files from the suggested bin directory into $libdir as well (to make sure they are found by the postmaster process). Adding bin or lib to the system path does not seem to make a difference either. To be precise: I'm talking about the following files that are part of the archive: bin/iconv.dll bin/libxml2.dll bin/libxslt.dll bin/zlib1.dll lib/libpgxml.dll So I am suspecting that this is a version conflict (which is somewhat expected, as the module is inteded for 8.0 not for 8.1) Does anybody know whether there is an update planned for this module or even built-in XML support in a later version? I tried to contact the author as suggested on the website, but have not received any answer so far. Thanks in advance Thomas

The source for the package is part of the main distribution, but assuming you are using the installer for the Windows version, that is of limited use to you. I can't claim to have great Windows compilation skills, but another contributor posted a zipped dll some time ago: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-novice/2005-11/msg00216.php That may help you out. > I copied all the .dll from the archive to $libdir and after restarting PG > I tried to create the necessary functions using the supplied SQL script. > > But when running the supplied script, I get an error message: > > ERROR: could not load library "D:/Programme/Postgres/lib/libpgxml.dll": > The problem is not likely to be an inability to find the file, it may be that symbols in it remain unreferenced i.e. it's either not compatible with the main postgres executable or with libxml2. > Does anybody know whether there is an update planned for this module or > even built-in XML support in a later version? The only issue is a Win32 binary version of it - the module itself is intended to (and I believe does!) work with 8.1. Have a look at the referenced link and see if that helps you - if you still have problems, post again and I'll think harder! Regards John (original developer of contrib/xml2 but now largely bereft of time and glad to see XML in the SoC proposals!)
