Re: "Official" version

I don't have much time - I did have enough time to do a basic run against it though, and it seems to have some problems.
I tried it with a select statement and got this error back when I did a fetch on it.

Null statement result in PGAPI_ExtendedFetch.

I've tested declare/fetch a fair bit - it was originally broken by the thread/transactions bug but seems OK now.

Haven't tried server side prepare though. Have you got some time to test it?

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?

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
