Thread: mpsql
I just downloaded an tried mpsql (see http://www.troubador.com/~keidav/index.html) and I have to say I like it. It's like a graphical version of psql. In fact it is modelled after Oracle's SQL Worksheet or similar products. Now I wonder what's the correct way to handle this kind of software. Shall we try to boundle it with our release? Or is it just a separete program for us? Sidenote to Oliver Elphick, I think we package this one for Debian, too. What do you think?

Wie geht's Michael, I read Marc's reply - that mpsql is bundled with the CD (which I eagerly await ;-) I am wondering if mpmgr (the sibling application) is also bundled? Also - I have become reliant on Edmund Mergl's DBD-Pg (ver 0.69) module for the Perl DBI interface. (Using version 0.91) Are these also bundled with the CD? Marc, can we not have links off the postgresql.org page to these dandy items? And could I appeal to the powers that be to include these tools with the tarball? I do expect that the reason mpsql and mpmgr are not in the archive is due to their size but the DBI driver and Edmund's great module are very lean. BTW, my superiors have agreed that we will deploy PostgreSQL on October 01-1998 when I bring our newest server online. This represents the complete departure from our original model: PROGRESS 7.3A09 on UnixWare (1.1). We now use PosgreSQL 6.3.2 (ecpg 1.1, DBI::DBD-Pg) on Slackware 3.4. We are very pleased. The week of 15 June 1998 is PC Expo at the Jacob Javitts Centre in lower Manhattan. I will be tabling at this event and expect to trumpet the changes in my shop made possible by PostgreSQL (dot-org).

See http://www.postgresql.org/cd-dist.shtml for everything that is currently bundled in... I'm working on updating the CD image this weekend, which has held off on some ppl having been ship'd theirs :( > Marc, can we not have links off the postgresql.org page to these > dandy items?

I can definitely say that none of these tools will be included in the tarball...right now, that would add another 3+Meg to the distribution :) If there is anything that I don't have listed at the above URL (ie. that isn't bundled on the CD that you'd like to see), please let me know. And, of course, if anything at the above URL is out of date, again, please let me know...some stuff is just impossible to keep up on :) Marc G.

I think the author is looking for a class library to program with. That is to say development is currently on hold.
