Thread: Compilation probl with Postgres 7.3.1
7.3.1 's pgNotify structure has no member extra, is there a way to compile and of course use pgadmin with PostgreSQL 7.x or do I have to upgrade to 8.x ? I was trying to compile 1.4.1. regards Gerhard -- Gerhard Hintermayer

I was trying to compile 1.4.1. You will need to compile against a newer PostgreSQL, but the resulting pgAdmin can be used to manage a 7.3 server. Regards, Dave

So I have to live with a) having both 7.x and 8.x libs/includes hang around and b) "unsupported frontend protocol" errors in the database logfile (thats at least what I get when I connect with the 8.x psql version. right ?

Yes. Regards, Dave.

How about updating to something less outdated... Patch versions are at 7.3.12 already, for good reasons, and upgrading to 8.1 isn't a very bad idea either. Regards, Andreas

Upgrading to 7.3.12 should be a simple make; make install; stop and restart server. To perform a smooth update, you could consider using Slony-I to have an up-to-date replication. This would allow you to switch over virtually seamlessly (if your current machine is big enough, I doubt it when looking at your pgsql version, could be even on the same box). >>PS: please don't send to both mailing list and directly, so I >>get every mail twice :-( > That's the convention on all the postgresql.org lists, though you > shouldn't get multiple copies normally unless you've subscirbe with a > couple of addresses. Yeah, to be sure that *you* get the answer, and all people interested (and for archive's sake) see it too. Regards, Andreas

An upgrade to 7.3.12 neither solves the "unsupported frontend protocol" nor the compilation problem, the structure pgNotify is exactly the same as in 7.3.1. I think there are still a lot of 7.3.* versions out there, and they all have to suffer from that problems. regards Gerhard
