Hi all,
As you may or may not have known, I am currently unauthorized to make
any updates to the Insight web site for the odbc driver. I have access
to the cvs tree at hub.org, so I can make source code changes, but no
way that I know of to distribute binaries for Windows.
Also, I have no way of testing any changes to the driver since I don't
have a server running postgres to use.
It seems that the odbc driver should be kept at the Postgres site but I
don't know what's involved there.
Any suggestions?
Byron

I'd happily create an ODBC-bin directory (or similar) for you on the main
ftp site, which means all the mirrors would pick it up also, and we can
just as easily create an odbc 'sub-section' off the web site if you wish
to maintain that also...

Anyone out there using ODBC that feels it is important enough to them to
help Byron out here? :)
Basically...tell me what you need and we'll do what we can to provide
it...

Yeah, that would be great, on both issues. I guess you already have access to the
html pages that Insight has on its site. I would just need to update some links
for the download stuff to point to the bin directory, yes?

Vince, can you work with Byron on creating an ODBC section of our WWW page
that matches our format, and that he can update as required?
Byron, we are using CVS for our WWW stuff...Vince will let you know what
you need to do...
Actually, just checked and we do have it:
/home/projects/pgsql/ftp/pub/odbc
Vince, can you get that worked in as appropriate?
Byron, I've just changed ownership of the above directory so that you can
modify what is in it, and upload your binaries up into it...:)
Let me know if I missed anything...

I'll volunteer to test -- but, unless Borland C/C++ 4.0 is good enough
to compile the beast, I cannot compile it. As old as BC/C++ 4.0 is, I
doubt it is good enough.
But, like I said, I'll be more than happy to test, as I am using ODBC
rather heavily. In fact, I might be willing to open a postgres server
for ODBC testing, given IP's, etc.

I am pretty dependant on this driver now. What would you need (ideally) to
satisfy your testing requirements? I could probably put a basic Linux
machine together from scrap & dedicate to you for testing. It would have a
T1 connect.

I'm coming into this late so I'll have to catch up. My 56K line has been
bouncing for a few days now (since some storms) and the fone company hasn't
gotten it fixed yet so my connectivity is a somewhat erratic. I'll holler
back when I catch up a bit.

Wow! That's pretty great.
OK, if you are up for it, I will certainly do all I can on my side. I guess
you'll be wanting that driver fix then, eh? :)
[ BTW, anybody got an extra PC around? Maybe I can install Access 2000 on
it. BTW, the 2000 is for the 2GB of hard disk space you lose when you install
that thing. :) Maybe they should just ship Access 2000 on a hard drive? :)
]
OK, enough stabs at MS.
Thanks,
Byron

It's no problem for me to compile it on VC. And now between you or Ken
Wright, looks like I can test out changes. If there are specific apps you
need to test, I can provide you with a DLL.
Maybe there could be a directory for the latest and greatest DLL only, which
is not official, but may have the latest fixes.

Ahhh...., you did get my mail ;-) I was getting worried. Thought maybe I'd
either have to learn 'c' or rewrite in Delphi!

Oh please, more stabs. It's good entertainment!
On the serious side, it will take a week or so to get the machine up as I'm
currently offsite. I'll advise when ready.
Cheers!

Do with the odbc directory that which you want...:)

I'm also pretty dependant on it now - whilst I can't offer a T1 with a box
on the end of it I do have access to machines running most versions of
Win95/98 and experience with DAO and ADO in VB if you need anything tested.
Regards,
Dave.
