<p>Jim: </p> <hr /> <div>The Postgres driver is largely maintained by the users of the [[OpenACS]]. <br /> <br /> Hi, Jim Lynch here. I'm going to try helping and extending the nspostgres driver.<br /> <br /> It includes bind variable emulation<br /> and other extensions which make it compatible with the [[nsoracle]] driver.<br /> <br /> This module lives in AOLserver CVS[http://aolserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/aolserver/nspostgres/] NOTE, <br /> corrected link.<br /> <br /> and can be downloaded from the website: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3152&amp;package_id=41577<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Current as of feb 2007<br /> <br /> I've made a few additions to the driver, and I'd like to summarize them here. My <br /> stuff right now only lives in cvs HEAD, given it's only been tested on one or two <br /> arches so far.<br /> <br /> - driver has been extended in two ways:<br /> + build system now allows use of pg_config to get location and all other <br /> attributes of the specific postgres install to build nspostgres<br /> against. Also, you can specify which postgres to build against.<br /> o to build this way, use POSTGRES=PG_CONFIG<br /> o to specify which postgres to build against, add the path to <br /> pgconfig like this: PG_CONFIG=/path/to/pg_config<br /> - the information in many of the error messages generated is enhanced<br /> by the addition of an additional piece of information which is specific<br /> to postgres. Specifically, most or all calls that include an sql statement<br /> will also add the postgres-specific status code that cane from the call<br /> to libpq's PQexec() call, if the call or the driver determines that an<br /> error condition exists.</div>
