Thread: .NET and PostgreSQL
Hi,
One of our potential customers want to use .NET and PostgreSQL together.
I dislike any M$ products so do not know what to do for .NET and
PostgreSQL come together.
Visited gborg and took a look at Npgsql. It does what we want; doesn't it?
But it's under development and not ready for production use, right?
Is there any other project that we can use? Or any other suggestions?
Best regards,

This is likely your best bet from what I've seen. Keep in mind that "alpha" for Postgresql projects is about the same as "final release before bug fixes, security patches, and service pack2" for Microsoft products, while "beta" for pgsql tends to be what you get after adding all the above to a Microsoft product. Microsoft has no equivalent to a x.y.2 release of a postgresql project. I'm not being a smart aleck, it really is true.

P.s. what I was trying to say in my last post, was that you should test it and see how it works for you right now. You may find that the work they have left to do doesn't really affect you and you can get ready for the final release by producing code now instead of waiting. Whether something's good enough to be put on a production system can only be determined by testing. No one can vouch for it to work but the guy who puts it online.

Thanks for the two posts.
I agree on what you say on open source products; but what I wanted to
learn was if there was anyone using it (or not) on a production
environment.
I'll inform the people who'll write the code. If we succeed in porting the
application, I'll post the result to this list.
Regards,

You can use ODBC with .NET. You may want to search the archives for references to that; I'm sure I recall seeing reports from people who have done that with good results. --- Devrim GUNDUZ <devrim@gunduz.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > On Mon, 12 May 2003, scott.marlowe wrote: > > > P.s. what I was trying to say in my last post, was > that you should test it > > and see how it works for you right now.
