Thread: www.postgresql.org
Two comments on the web site: 1. The search feature sucks. I hate to be blunt, but I just did a search for "odbc" and got...NOTHING. 2. The site is very slow (not just today, but every day for the last two weeks that I have tried it, and I've tried from many different machines on different networks). Who do I take these issues to? (There is no "feeback on this site" link or email address on the site). -Don

okay, just up'd -B to 512 as a start, and got 11 582 results back on a
search of ODBC ...

It may be that I'm just a long ways away. My roundtrip ping to 216.126..84.28 runs about 40ms. The site seems more sluggish this would indicate, though. (I'm talking about www.postgresql.org, not the search site.)

The mirror is automatically selected for you and you're redirected without knowing it until the page comes up. > Another big one for me, is people keep mentioning the JDBC mailing list, > but I have seen no info on it other than that and it is not in the list of > mailing lists. What list of mailing lists? The only official list is in the middle of http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/index.html and both jdbc and odbc are listed. If you're looking for it in the list of developer's mailing lists, you won't find it. It's a user's list not a developer's list.
