Thread: PostgreSQL 7.0

PostgreSQL 7.0

From

Hallo,
I have been upgrading Postgresql version from 6.5 into 7.0 and slight
problems emerged, probably due to my insufficient knowledge:
1. In the older version, in psql, I could repeat SQL commands by means of
up-down keys - now I have to type everything again;
2. ODBC driver I have used to cooperate with the older Postgresql version
(access to the database from Access97) - now tables can be opened only in
the read-only mode.

Thank you in advance for all the relevant information.
PostgreSQL 7.0.0., RedHat 6.0 and, if it is of any importance - kernel
2.2.15.

Jacek

Sounds like psql was built without libhistory.  If you compiled postgres
yourself, the odds are that the problem is you don't have the libhistory
devel RPM installed.  Install it, reconfigure and recompile postgres.

Not sure about this one.  The usual Access issue is that it doesn't
like tables without primary keys, but I don't see why there'd be
any change across postgres versions.  Any ideas out there?

I've discovered that if there is any change to the ODBC driver or such,
Access needs to relink tables to take effect.  Not sure if it is the case
here, but wouldn't hurt to try... Was the ODBC driver updated or reinstalled
with the upgrade?  Check to make sure the Read Only boxes were unchecked?
