Not that I'm aware of, however I'm now maintaining the ftp area (and included .html files) - the 2 should really be in sync information wise IMHO. regards, Dave. > On Tue, 15 May 2001, Joerg Last wrote: > > > Hello, > > I don't know if somebody else told you, > > but there is a site > > http://odbc.postgres.org > > with many hints, the newest Postgres-ODBC-Driver for Win > > and a FAQ about ODBC and especially Access. > > > > - Joerg. > > > > > > ---------------------------(end of > > broadcast)--------------------------- > > TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > > > http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html > > > > > ---------------------------(end of > broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html

I did email Marc about getting them on the website rather than just ftp but got no response :-(. Anyway, I'm currently looking after the odbc directory on the ftp server, as well as building the binary distros in there, so perhaps we should co-ordinate our efforts. It would be good imho to use the ftp area purely for downloads and move the docs to the website as the 'one true copy' What do you (and others) think? Regards, Dave.

Right now for the FAQ I'm just pointing to the one on the ftpsite. I see the config help has something now. Has the main page changed any? What else is there? The other docs I have there point inside the interactive docs to the odbc section. > Anyway, I'm currently looking after the odbc directory on the ftp server, as > well as building the binary distros in there, so perhaps we should > co-ordinate our efforts.

I think if the three pages I've listed above, and faq.html can be added to the site as proper pages (i.e. formatted to match the rest of the site, and served by httpd, then the copies in the ftp area can be removed, so that the ftp area is purely for downloads. That way odbc.postgresql.org *is* the one source of good odbc info. Regards, Dave.

I'm working on something that'll be easier to use and looks better, I'm planning on stealing some of Justin's ideas on the techdocs site but with a different color scheme. Then if it looks and works good I'll merge the design into the main site as well. How often do the three pages get updated?

No I didn't notice - I must admit I've been a little distracted today by someone else's code that appeared in one of my programs :-(. Leaving the files in the ftp site might be useful to others. If Vince applies his formatting to them (should be relatively easy, I already stripped them to barebones html), and uses those copies in the website then I can continue to update the content as required - hey presto, one ftp site and www site permanently in sync! Regards, Dave.

I've just brought all of them up-to-date recently since Byron stopped working on them, with a view to keeping them low maintenance. BTW: (I'm not sure who would deal with this - I did let Marc know but...) I don't know if this is a problem with postgresql.rmplc.co.uk or with the mirrors in general, but there is a mixture of old versions of files, and deleted files on that mirror in the odbc directory. Something is definately wrong... Regards, Dave.
