Re: "Official" version

Good point on the declare/fetch usage, obviously this needs to be tried before the driver is considered stable.

Same goes for the server-side prepared queries, has anyone tried this feature with the libpq driver?

That’s odd - much of my testing has been in Access and i'm unaware of any outstanding issues.

Can you provide a minimal pg_dump file containing a table that illustrates the problem please?

/D

I was playing around with psqlodbclibpq-08_01_0003.zip and seemed to be
having problems in Access with it.  I'd get errors about a failed
command happening inside a transaction and that all commands till the
end of the transaction would be ignored.  Is there a more recent version
of the driver?  This is against an 8.0.3 database.

Never saw this with the older driver.  I got it right off the bat (when
getting the table listing in Access to link to) when I had
'declare/fetch' on (which I really need...).  When I turned that off I
was able to get past the table list and actually link to a table but
when I tried to open the table that's what I got. :/

I'd really like to get these issues resolved, of course...

    Thanks,

        Stephen
