Hi,
I'd like to announce the availability of the version 0.7.2 of the native
postgresql driver for OpenOffice.org database API for windows and linux x86.
The driver's homepage can be found here:
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html
Compared to Version 0.7.1, the following things have changed. In case,
the described problems don't affect you, there is no reason to upgrade
Changes:
Version 0.7.2
* postgresql >= 8.1.x fully supported
In former versions, the driver could not edit/create a table with
postgresql 8.1.0 and above. This has been fixed (this was, because
postgresql 8.1 does some stricter SQL checking).
* Type content recognition
The postgresql function, that returns the type of a certain column of
a result set was not used correctly, this has been fixed. No content
type recognition is needed anymore (was introduced in 0.7.1) (thx a
lot for the hint from the postgresql community).
About the driver:
The driver allows to directly use the postgresql database from
OpenOffice.org without any other wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc.
The driver is aimed at the 1.1.x and 2.x OpenOffice.org versions, it
does not work with OOo1.0.x trees. It should work with all postgresql
servers of version 7.3.x and above (including 8.x ).
Have fun,
Joerg
PS: followups in dev@dba.openoffice.org
