Thread: Have people taken a look at pgdiff yet?
Hi everyone, Just found out that the "pgdiff" utility (the one for comparing two different PostgreSQL database's) was released and uploaded to SourceForge in November: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgdiff Have people already looked at this? :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

As a note for those wanting to check it out there is a limited functionality demo (wouldnt want arbitrary sql execution over the web) available at www.23pools.com:8000 All comments welcome and if you need help setting up / installing drop me an email and I will see if I can help.

I started... but had to install and configure AOLServer, which took more time than I had allotted to thie experiment. I never was able to get a diff to run. I think a good pratical and working example is needed for that utility. I'd like to see how it works.

No, AOLserver is just that good at database connectivity.... :-) And it makes a great development environment for various db utilities. Although the pgdiff people might should mention the need on their summary page.... I've heard of more bizarre things, though..... -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
I second that, if that is the case....

I'm busy trying to set up AOLserver to access PostgreSQL. Can you offer any advice on what driver to use (docs aren't entirely clear on the virtues of the internal PostgreSQL driver vs. the ARSdigita driver and it looks like the ARSdigita is being merged into the AOLserver code but that's in a beta state - a bit of a headache for an AOLserver newbie).

The officially sanctioned latest driver version in 3.5, found on the SourceForge AOLserver file download page. OpenACS is built on top of AOLserver, it's true; they are still separate projects, even though the driver has hooks in it for OpenACS use. The OpenACS sample tcl config shows how to load the nspostgres driver (even though it may call it 'postgres' instead). -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
