Hi Joel,

Just downloaded this driver to get the referential integrity stuff and find
that the version number is 6.40.0.9 whereas the latest version that Byron (I
assume it was Byron anyway) compiled was 6.50.0.0. Is your version based on
older code or is there another reason for this?

Regards,
Dave.

There were so many misunderstandings and confusions about the version
numbers. I suggest rewriting the version number (in psqlodbc.h and
psqlodbc.rc) after each submitted patch for each submitter. As I can see
in the CVS, last 6 months the source was modified by Peter, Thomas, Tom
and Bruce. My idea is to change the version number to 7.0.3.1 or 7.1.0.0
if you experience that the driver works with 7.1devel.

But indeed, checking the CVS, I found 6.40.0.9 and Byron's latest compiled
version was 6.50.0.0. I am afraid Byron didn't submitted his modifications
to the CVS... However, I don't think he changed anything except the
version number. But I'm not sure.

Comments?

AFAIK, that is the most up-to-date. I compiled it about 2-3 weeks
ago; there have been a few (tiny) patches to the CVS code since, and I'll
probably update that in a week or two to include those.

But, yes, the version numbers seem somewhat broken. I made no attempt to
find/fix the version numbers; this may or may not have been fixed in the
latest CVS.

BTW, pgAdmin looks better the ever. Keep up the good work!
