Обсуждение: New snapshot 08.00.0001 uploaded
Hi all, I just uploaded a new snapshot of the ODBC to ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions/snapshots/ (note that it might take an hour or two to get rsync'ed onto the distribution servers). The purpose of this version is to try to get something stable, with proper schema/without OID support ready for the 8.0 release (particularly the win32 release). To that end, this release is mainly a quick cleanup of the following: - GUI cleanup. Dialogues should behave better now and not have unlabeled buttons or move around the screen in strange ways. - Updateable Cursor support. This is largely experimental and is (I believe) the cause of a least a couple of stability issues in the recent snapshots. In this release it is marked 'experimental' on the setup dialogue (only in English, if anyone can do the Japanese version, please send a patch) and turned off by default. I'd appreciate it if ppl could test it a little with Updateable Cursors *turned off* and report any bugs. Regards, Dave.

Btw., is everyone registering the problem reports in the bug tracking module on gborg? Is that the canonical site for open issues? Or is someone keeping track of the issues reporting in this mailing list? I occasionally get the feeling from some posts that the current driver is worse than the last released one (07.03. something).

It's supposed to have moved to Gborg, however many bugs seem to end up on the list. Unfortunately I just don't have time to track them these days, let alone fix most of them. My time is taken up with Win32/pginstaller, pgAdmin and web/infrastructure stuff. > I occasionally get the feeling from some posts that the > current driver is worse than the last released one (07.03. > something). What are our release criteria? Yes it is, however the old stable one doesn't work well with oid-less tables. I believe the main reason for this is that the experimental updateable cursor support got enabled by default at some point, and started causing problems. Whilst it would be nice to see that fixed, my concern at the moment is getting a stable release to go out with pginstaller, hence I've made it non-default, and labelled it experimental. That code is the last project Hiroshi was working on before he left for pastures new, which probably accounts for the stability issues (because it's so new not because he was working on it if you catch my drift). We also use the Unicode version exclusively now, which it seems has not had huge amounts of testing despite being distributed as a beta for quite some time. Regards Dave.

I wish I could report some bugs, but the good news is, so far its been very stable. The
previous build would fall over after a few minutes at best. This build has been
reasonably well put though its paces with may Web App (ASP.NET) for several hours
now with no problems.
BTW, I don't use a DSN, I just use a connection string like:
strConnect =
"DRIVER={PostgreSQL};UID=postgres;SERVER=192.168.1.102;Port=5432;Database=
myDB";
I'm not exactly sure what the defaults are (now) in this case.
Cheers,
Gary.

I don't - it's not like I have time to try to fix them!

That's excellent news. Thanks for reporting back.
