Re: [BUGS] Bug #640: ECPG: inserting float numbers

Bruce, this error and the one in your earlier post are not indicative
of the bug, but rather of the connection failing - looking at the
created ecpgdebug file should confirm this.

I have since compiled 7.3 with the patch locally and cannot recreate
the bug (after messing around with the HBA cfg file - I was getting
the same error as you).

My command line (with 7.3 sitting in /database/pgsql-test on port 5433
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup):
/database/pgsql-test/bin/ecpg insert-float.pgcgcc insert-float.c -I/database/pgsql-test/include
-L/database/pgsql-test/lib-lecpg -lpq./a.out floattest@localhost:5433
