Thread: ODBC driver

I promised to mail someone from this list an odbc driver, but stupidly
deleted his email address. Please remind me who you are!

Cheers,

Patrick

Hi, The size of a sequence is 32bit , correct? (im pretty damn sure it is). Is
there any way I can tune this to 64bit, There is an int8 option in postgres as
I use that already.Threre is a skanky way of creating an incremenetd counter 
whilst using an int8 but I would rather up the sequence in the code. Anyone got
any ideas where to look? I am aware that the int8 is signed but that doest matter currently.

Look in src/backend/parser/gram.y and analyze.c for where sequences
(the serial type) is handled. The code actually just embeds the
"skanky" technique to hide it from the user. A very first cut might be
to make this configurable by defining, say, SERIAL_IS_INT64. Patches
accepted ;)
