RE: [INTERFACES] Libpq in Windows95 and VC++ 5.0

I don't think anyone has done it yet.

However, the protocol isn't too complicated, so you could write your own
library. The ODBC & JDBC drivers are like this - they don't use libpq, and
there's also a pure TCL8 library floating around.

Be warned though, if a protocol change occurs, like there was one in 6.3,
and 6.4 has one also, you'll have to keep up with development.

I did find it a good way to see how the backend works, when working on the
JDBC driver. Implementing Fastpath was fun ;-)

But

Is it possible to compile LIBPQ with  MS Visual C++ V5 to make some programs
runing in Win95 machine to access PostgreSQL runing at a UNIX box without
ODBC? Has any one done it yet?
