Hey, who is the current active maintainer of the ODBC driver?
Thanks!

Currently there is no maintainer, afaik.

Unfortunately, there is no "current active maintainer". However, there
are several people who have offered to help at a level just under what
they felt would be required to be considered the project leader.
Volunteers are accepted ;)

I'll be a volunteer to implement odbc driver. Just wondering why don't
import unixODBC
code into Postgres src?

If I recall correctly, it is under GPL, no? Which conflicts with our BSD
liccense ... of course, I've been known to recall incorrectly at times :)

That is possible, I suppose.
My (admittedly vague) recollection is that the unixODBC folks took the
psqlODBC code from our tree and modified it. They may have contributed
back some patches, but afaik they forked the code and had no interest in
keeping the code base consistant :(
If the unixODBC code is a superset of what we have (or could be made so)
then perhaps it would be a better choice to work from. But we should
make sure that our last year's improvements don't get lost.

most of their changes are bugfixes and changes related to '//' comments
used in PostgreSQL ODBC code. My impression is that Nick Gorham
<nick@easysoft.com> (unixODBC maintainer) is interested in merging ODBC
drivers and on their webpage it is stated that changes are submitted back
to PostgreSQL developers. The only issue might be license (unixODBC is
LGPL).
OTOH I do not understand why ODBC driver is not using libpq.
There were a couple of problems with ODBC driver backend protocol
implementation (e.g. not reporting referential integrity
errors)

Well, it's under GPL. You recalled incorrectly :-)

Actually, it's LGPL...

Our ODBC driver is under the LGPL, same as unixODBC. There are no
"conflicts" as long as you don't copy code back and forth.

Err, 'back and forth between the core and ODBC drivers', I presume?
