Обсуждение: ODBC
Hi, I am the coordinator and lead developer of the unixODBC Project ( http://www.genix.net/unixODBC ). I visited here a few months ago with the intention of getting the PostgreSQL ODBC driver to work in unixODBC. I passed the effort on but it seems that it is not getting done so I am back again with the intention of doing it over the next day or two. I expect the changes to be minimal but they may affect a number fo files so I would like to get cvs read/write access to the source instead of doing diffs or whatever. NOTE: I do not plan on making any changes affecting MS Windows users. If this does not seem like a good idea to the people here then I will start a code fork... a UNIX specific version of the driver. Please advise... Peter Harvey

Since the driver was successfully modified to work with both MS and IODBC, then it seems to me you shouldn't have to make a code fork for this either. Byron

Marc gave me a login there so I could update it. BUT, I don't think I have the latest updates in there. The latest source is only available as a zip from the old insight website (http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc). Can you give me till this evening to put the latest updates in there? Byron

I will also need read/write access. Please forward this info to me as-soon-as-you-can. I have a window of time to do this work now and I am anxious to get on it. Thanks Byron! Peter Harvey

I'm not sure what UnixODBC is, but does it try to be compatible/consistant with IODBC? Is it a successor, or replacement? Can I use it on my ApplixWare installation, which already knows about IODBC? Just curious... Your url isn't available to me at the moment. > Do you have a cvs server for this? You can get read access to cvs using anonymous or using cvsup (much preferred if you are going to be working over an extended time). Check the web site or the CVS_FAQ for details, and ask questions on the list. I'm sure Byron and I would be happy to test any patches you might have, or just send tarballs while you're sorting it out. Cary O'Brien would probably be willing to participate also. Cary?

Read-only anonymous-CVS access is available, see the website for details. Write access is held a little more closely ;-). Please submit your patches as diffs to the pgsql-patches mailing list. regards, tom lane

Hey... please do not send posts AND email me as well. Thanks. Peter Harvey

I have the latest zip of the sources so I will make all changes required and then send a zip back to someone here for testing, acceptance and cvs update? I do not have to have write access if you want to do this. I just want to make sure that no one else is making changes to the source over the next day or two. Is this ok? Its actually easier for me. Who will accept the submission? Peter Harvey

Hmm... Time is limited, so I will try to be honest about how much I can contribute. But sure, I can try to test a new odbc driver w/ Applixware and PostgreSQL. I can easily test on glibc machines, but it is harder for me to test on libc5 machines. All are Intel architecture. BTW, my current email address is cobrien@radix.net (the stinkers at digex cancelled the shell accounts!). -- cary Cary O'Brien cobrien@radix.net http://www.radix.net/~cobrien > > I am the coordinator and lead developer of the unixODBC Project ( > > http://www.genix.net/unixODBC ).

Please test it if you have the time.... perhaps Byron or Thomas will also test it and then get it checked into cvs (I do not have write access)? Thanks! Peter
