Thread: no more ODBC
Hi all, As you may or may not have known, I am currently unauthorized to make any updates to the Insight web site for the odbc driver. I have access to the cvs tree at hub.org, so I can make source code changes, but no way that I know of to distribute binaries for Windows. Also, I have no way of testing any changes to the driver since I don't have a server running postgres to use. It seems that the odbc driver should be kept at the Postgres site but I don't know what's involved there. Any suggestions? Byron

I'd happily create an ODBC-bin directory (or similar) for you on the main
ftp site, which means all the mirrors would pick it up also, and we can
just as easily create an odbc 'sub-section' off the web site if you wish
to maintain that also...

Anyone out there using ODBC that feels it is important enough to them to
help Byron out here? :)
Basically...tell me what you need and we'll do what we can to provide
it...

I guess you already have access to the html pages that Insight has on its site. I would just need to update some links for the download stuff to point to the bin directory, yes? byron

As old as BC/C++ 4.0 is, I doubt it is good enough. But, like I said, I'll be more than happy to test, as I am using ODBC rather heavily. In fact, I might be willing to open a postgres server for ODBC testing, given IP's, etc. Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio

Vince, can you work with Byron on creating an ODBC section of our WWW page
that matches our format, and that he can update as required?
Byron, we are using CVS for our WWW stuff...Vince will let you know what
you need to do...
Actually, just checked and we do have it:
/home/projects/pgsql/ftp/pub/odbc
Vince, can you get that worked in as appropriate?
Byron, I've just changed ownership of the above directory so that you can
modify what is in it, and upload your binaries up into it...:)
Let me know if I missed anything...

I'm coming into this late so I'll have to catch up. My 56K line has been
bouncing for a few days now (since some storms) and the fone company hasn't
gotten it fixed yet so my connectivity is a somewhat erratic. I'll holler
back when I catch up a bit.
Vince.

If there are specific apps you need to test, I can provide you with a DLL. Maybe there could be a directory for the latest and greatest DLL only, which is not official, but may have the latest fixes.

Do with the odbc directory that which you want...:)
