Обсуждение: Re: [INTERFACES] Win32 version of the psql library
What is the expected date of release for the 6.4 of Postgres? Is that the only win32 component that will be included the 6.4 release?

Oct 1, I believe...Sept 1st is looking like Beta-Freeze, with a
release one month later...
As for the only component...so far as I know, its the only
component that someone has worked on. Unless someone from the Win32 world
works on and submits more, that will most likely be thte only component...

Not providing a win16 driver can't be strong enough cause for exclusion of _the_ win32 connectivity library from the distribution ;) And I suspect that the JDBC drivers work on Win32 as well. And as i have heared the tcl-only tcl client, which makes pgaccess also a win32 component. I think the psql library was one of the _last_ client libraries to be generally known to work under win32 ;) ------------------- Hannu

Ummmm...the insight ODBC driver has been included for the past
several months now, with Bryon having direct CVS access to update it at
will...

I compiled it under Linux, as I tend to use the JRE on the Win32 machines, as it takes up less room. -- Peter T Mount peter@retep.org.uk or petermount@earthling.net Main Homepage: http://www.retep.org.uk ************ Someday I may rebuild this signature completely ;-) ************ Work Homepage: http://www.maidstone.gov.uk Work EMail: peter@maidstone.gov.uk
