Thread: ODBC driver further developments?
Hello, Hiroshi Inoue, the maintainer of the Postgresql ODBC driver, mentionned some time ago he was willing to stop working on the ODBC driver package. Again, of course, I would like to thank him for all he did. I'm using the latest known snapshot of the driver every day (in conjunction with the latest MDAC), and I have no big problem with it. I'm just wondering what is supposed to happen in the future? Is there still anymone maintaining this driver? Postgresql is really a great alternative to SQL Server, but without a top-qualiy driver, it is less interesting, when linked to a windows client. What's more, I couldn't find any viable commercial alternative to the official driver... I'm willing to help, if I can. Can anyone clarify the situation? Thanks Philippe

Not only to a windows client. For example, some development tools that run on several OS use ODBC only to access databases. I agree with you, a top-qualiy ODBC driver is something Postgresql really needs. >What's more, I couldn't >find any viable commercial alternative to the official driver... I have been looking at several alternatives recently. The only serious one seems to be OpenLink. You could have a look at www.openlinksw.com and http://docs.openlinksw.com/mt/ (multi tier driver). Moreover I know there are working to implement SSL in their multi tier driver. Francis >I'm willing to help, if I can.

It's rumoured that Philippe Lang once said: > > I'm willing to help, if I can. Can anyone clarify the situation? > Hi Philippe, At the moment I guess I'm about the only person left, thought to be honest my interest in the driver is very low these days as I have moved almost exclusively to using libpq. I'm happy to carry on managing the website for now, as well as applying patches and handling the releases of the driver (in case you didn't realise, it's me that packages and builds the formal releases). Unfortunately I do not have time for any real coding, so any help on that front would be appreciated. Also, my time is limited when it comes to testing/checking patches - I will do what I can, but could really use comments 'from the floor' for any submitted patches; the more eyes the better!

Any contributions you can make would be appreciated :-) We use MS Visual C++ at the moment (that's what the .mak makefiles are for - the command line MS compiler). There is no special environment required, simply run vcvars32.bat (or add the relevant bits to your env), and then use something like 'nmake /f win32.mak' to build a DLL. At the moment we have 3 builds, the ODBC2.5 (legacy) version, the ODBC3 version and the ODBC3 Unicode (beta) version. I want to move fairly quickly to only the ODBC3 Unicode build and junk the rest. Regards, Dave

Does that mean that you have officially picked up the ODBC maintanance?
That's great news. I was fearing it will be left orphaned.
Are you interested in my list of gripes with the current code, btw?

With Hiroshi not working on it regularly now, we are all ready to jump in and do whatever we can.

Things I'd like to see with ODBC: 1. Shift to the V.3 protocol, possibly using libpq 2. Work around the readonly restriction on cursors 3. Fix the performance problem when a cursor needs to be emulated using individual selects I have a solution to 2 and 3, but I'm way over my head with the OLE DB work, so I won't be implementing this myself in the near future. I'm also not familiar enough with the raw libpq protocol to start hacking it at the moment. If anyone is interested in how I was planning on solving it, please drop me a note, and I'll detail it in a seperate message. -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Systems Consulting http://www.lingnu.com/

I downloaded their single-tier driver for testing in my environment. I managed to find a bug with sending queries to the back-end that they've been working on for a month now. I don't know if its because I'm not a paying customer yet, but this bug has been in development for a looong time for such an expensive product. I would be cautious about spending that kind of dough (at least on their single-tier product) on this product unless you can get response timelines in writing, eh? > If you can afford it! Its priced per concurrent connection, so get ready to really pay if you need the "unlimited connections" driver. It not so bad if you only need 5 concurrent connections. :) CG __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello Dave, turning on the bug tracker sounds like a good idea. i think at the main focus should be on producing a stable version of the postgresql odbc driver. the last official release (07_03_0200) did not run stable in a multithreaded environment (like MS IIS5.0). i have posted a few bug-reports and there have been some patches addressing these issues since the 07_03_0200-release. if i find the time to test the current build i'll post the results, but my company already thinks about switching to a different database because of the stability issues. bye, markus.

Hmm, that's not good. Did the patches get applied? Do we simply need a point release to get over your immediate problem? Regards, Dave

Here are the ODBC patches I have kept in my mailbox:

Anyone want to review/apply them?

Thanks Bruce - there are basically three patches in there: 1) From Hartmut Raschick ---- - EINTR safety for send/recv, NOT4WIN - init vars before using them (most prominently in dlg_specific.c::SQLGetPrivateProfileString calls), - avoid those notorious core dumps when logging on hitting "null" data... in result.c - make 07.03.200 work with the new mutex_locks - may use -DHAVE_ECO_THREAD_LOCKS, if you use libiodbc (or similar) which already shells every driver call in mutex_locks - using the driver (in conjunction w/libiodbc) on Solaris in a threaded environment (thus --enable-pthreads) we also found that -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R is a good idea, also configure does not auto- link libsocket which is needed anyway... (mind libnsl when not threaded) ---- Unfortunately this patch was submitted as updated source files and I've been completely unsuccessful in reworking them into a patch that is a) reviewable, and b) able to be applied to cvs tip. This is probably my cvs/diff inexperience showing through, but whenever I diff the updated 07.03.0200 source against the original, I end up with a 1/2 meg file containing basically all of each file affected, before and after. I'd appreciate it if someone else can have a look and see if it is just me doing something stupid (other than using Windows!), or if you can supply a diff against CVS tip Hartmut, that'd be great. 2) From Cyrille Ch?p?lov (sorry) - Fixes for compilation using the Borland compiler. Patch applied - thanks. 3) From Ludek Finstrle Patch 1 adds a preselected scheme name to the list of connection/DSN options. Personally I think this is unecessary because there is already an 'extra settings' option in which the user can include statements such as 'set search_path to' if required. The list of options for psqlodbc is already huge, and in the long term I think we should be looking to remove options rather than add them (things like KSQO and GEQO can be configured by the app using SET, or by the DBA if really required)! Patch 2 adds WIN1250 charset support, and fixes a bug in pgtypes.c. The first part has been applied, the second is obsolete. Thanks to all the contributors - sorry it took so long to get to these. Regards, Dave.

OK, I have added an email from me to:
ftp://candle.pha.pa.us/pub/postgresql/mypatches/odbc.mbox
that has a 1200-line diff. Seems, based on the README file, that he
used the REL-07_03_0200 ODBC branch. He mentions this at the bottom of
his README:
driver version: 07.03.0200
cvs tag: psqlodbc_07_03_0200_1
path: $PSQLOBDC_HOME
files: misc.h, socket.c, connection.c, odbcapi.c, connection.h,
statement.h, Makefile
He also mentions his changes to each file:
misc.h: dos2unix
socket.c: EINTR checks not on Windoze...
connection.c: make it work even w/full thread locking
odbcapi.c: dto.
connection.h: honour flags for economized thread locking
statement.h: dto.
Makefile: you must add "-xO3 -mt -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R
-DHAVE_ECO_THREAD_LOCKS" now, on Solaris add @least "-lsocket" to LIBS
(gpps.c: became obsolete; source code not even compiled)

Hello Dave, is it possible to publish some kind of "official" current build of the psqlodbc-driver for windows on the postgresql website (or any other site), like hiroshi does here: http://www.geocities.jp/inocchichichi/psqlodbc/ If you have a "release candidate", i would like to test it in the iis envirenment to give you feedback, but my own builds of the driver never behave like the ones on hiroshi's site.

I would be happy to see if this new version compiles on Mac OS X... I still have had no success with the current release.
