Обсуждение: 32 bit DLL's

I noticed that the project currently provides 32bit DLL's in the release.

Is anyone using them?

Continuing with the top posting so as not to confuse things.

Same here. Our whole office runs on a 32-bit Access app connected via ODBC to Postgres 15.

Thanks,
Brad.

Yes also at my place of work. 

Access front-end(s) links to Postgresql via ODBC. For several colleagues the Office is still 32-bits, so requires 32-bits DLL. 

Kind regards, Jan Tjalling

Yes, we are using them as well. Please do not abandon 32-bits.

Absolutely !

We have migrated a big old ODBC 32 bits project from Access/SQL Server to ODBC32bits  Postgresql because of stability of Postgresql.  Many 32bits projects developed in 90's continue to be used and run on modern computers...

We maintain old VC6 32bits projects (MS FORTRAN+MS VC6+ODBC) using an XP VM on modern (linux...) computer. And the .exe resulting  of these projects run on W10/W11 computers with  modern Posgresql...

Independence of MS is strategic !

OK, I think I have the message :)

Thanks

Building PostgreSQL on 32bits in order to get libpq dll's seems to be challenging. If anyone has some experience doing this, let me know.

Also I plan on moving development to github postgresql-interfaces/psqlodbc (github.com)

Mmm, sorry I know nothing of "building 32 bits dll" but the only point is to keep PSQLODBC30A.DLL ans PSQLODBC35W.DLL as they are now.

Moreover, I do not think useful (for me!!) to add modern new features of last Postgesql to the ODBC 32bits interface, that is "maintain" but not necessarily "improve"...
