Those version numbers make no sense against the PostgreSQL versions, so we have just left them alone. Why are there multiple versions floating around?

Is it possible to autogenerate the version numbers from PostgreSQL source configuration? I think the reason why the WinODBC driver has a separate version number is that it can be compiled directly using the src/interfaces/odbc/ directory only, so if someone wants to compile the DLL only, he/she can do it. By the way, if we support this (we must, of course), autogenerating version numbers doesn't seem to make sense, it must be set "by hand". About multiple versions: I think Byron forgot to put his changes into the CVS. Byron? Zoltan

Since the cvs repository is now the "truth copy" of the code, the
standalone tarballs could be generated by a build process in
src/interfaces/odbc which explicitly finds and copies the current pgsql
version info. Once the tarball is built, then the version info travels
with the tarball. I'm not sure what the state of the standalone build is
at the moment; it used to work but I vaguely recall some discussion that
it was evil...

That time the source could be reached both at Byron's site and at Postgres' mirrors as well (the same (?) source). But Byron's source was <= 200k and the smallest Postgres tarball is >= 2000k. I think the standalone build should work at the moment because the Windows compilers only needed the src/interfaces/odbc directory, no more (at least in May this was the state). So I suggest autogenerating an odbc tarball beside the other ones. On the other hand, the stuff in ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/ is rather obsolete. At least some warnings should be put into it about this fact. Zoltan
Couldn't you point to the right place to download the stuff from, please.
