Thread: [Off-topic, Meta-question] Problems with psql-general list
Sorry for the offtopic nature, but:
1. Am I the only one who are having problems with the listerver not honouring the NOMAIL option?
I prefer to read the list on news and am a little annoyed with the volume of e-mails I'm suddenly getting. It used
towork fine...
2. The list (comp.databases.posrgresql.general) seems to have been removed from several downstream NNTP servers.
Anybodyknow why, and, again, am I the only one with this problem?
Comments by email <allane@cybaea.com> will be appreciated.

Marc said yesterday that he'd been forced to rebuild the subscriber list
for pgsql-general. Sounds like your NOMAIL preference got lost in the
shuffle :-(. You should be able to reconfigure it the way you want by
issuing the appropriate command to majordomo.

AFAIK the comp.databases.postgresql newsgroups are not recognized Usenet
groups, because no one ever bothered with going through the standard
voting procedure for them. Accordingly, they won't be present on
servers that are maintained by-the-book. You'll need to find a server
whose newsadmin has specifically chosen to carry them.

I've tried that three times over the last week. I tried again on Friday. I'll try again now, but there is a problem somewhere. I'd really rather not have to unsubscribe.. Thanks for the answers. Allan.
I wish I could offer some actual help on this, but unfortunately this is just a "piling on" email. I've had the same problem trying to get the list to revert me back to digest mode, I issue the commands and confirmations but nothing seems to change. I get the feeling the admin interfaces aren't communicating with the list anymore... ???

Well, I am in the process of trying to find an easy way of connecting to a database. I picked visual basic because I an a little familiar with the language and its interface. How do I connect to the database? Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Evan Panagiotopoulos Technology, Library and Media Director Poughkeepsie City School District

I would suggest ODBC/ADO becase MS has a lot of support and examples for it. You can find the ODBC driver download in the /odbc/versions/ directory of any ftp mirror.

You are probably going to use ODBC. I don't know if there are VB drivers for postgresql. I have been using RealBasic on the mac and there are drivers to directly access postgresql. Connecting is very easy. Check out the ODBC availability for VB.
