Thread: Pg7.1-beta and CVS psqlodbc.dll: No views

I'm using 7.1beta (gotta love those views with unions, distincts, 
etc.!). As has been noted earlier, the 6.50 ODBC driver (current 
stable version) does not work w/7.1beta.

So, I compiled last night's CVS sources to create a new 
psqlodbc.dll. This works *great* -- for tables. I don't see any of the 
views (I did w/Pg7.0.2 and the stable 7.50 ODBC driver).

I can see through the ODBC trace that the driver gets the tables 
with

select relname, usename, relhasrules from pg_class, pg_user where 
relkind = 'r' and usesysid = relowner order by relname

(relkind='r' is for normal tables, 'v' is for views).

Is this an intended change? Something I did? Something I/someone 
else can fix?

I do read this list, but always appreciate a 'cc' so I don't miss any 
reponses. TIA.

BTW, the improvements to the ODBC driver also include a fix so that 
referential integrity errors are reported properly as errors. No more 
"looks like it worked, but really didn't". Thanks to everyone who 
fixed this!

That's correct now, but in prior releases relkind='r' was used for both
tables and views (you had to go looking for an ON SELECT rule to
discover that a view was a view).  It seems pretty likely that the ODBC
driver hasn't been fixed to know about this change :-(.  Feel free to
submit a patch...
