Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to PostgreSQL driver

Posted by Jeff Davis on
I posted the following on the AOLServer list.
I have oracle 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 all as released from aD. I checked and the copy of 2.6 at Eve's site and the OpenACS tarball both match.

I also have the version from Jeremy Collins which he called 2.6 and was based on the aD v2.5 but there are a lot of cosmetic changes and it is hard to figure out what should be folded in to the next version. The diff from aD 2.5 -> aD 2.6 is very small and easy to add to Jeremy's version but I am not sure how well his version has been tested.

There is also a later version than the 2.6 release which Rob Mayoff had (which hopefully Rob or Andrew will send to me shortly which was ora8.c v 1.60 in the aD CVS).

Also, there was a change that I never put into the released version since it was never clear to me what the right answer was (cf http://ccm.redhat.com/bboard-archive/webdb/000d9f.html )

I think what we should do is put up the 2.3 -> 2.6 sequence, then try to pull in anything else that might have been fixed elsewhere and make that 2.7beta.
