Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Patched postgres.so shows SQL error messages in TCL error dump

Ok, minor confusion here.

The AOLserver CVS nspostgres has the new DbFail() routine (as mentioned in the previously referenced thread), but does not have Randy Kunkee's patch (for the exception code) in it.

Is the version you have different from the current AOLserver CVS version?

Or is this a different 'CVS' here?  Would you mind clarifying there so that I can make sure that the nspostgres in AOLserver CVS is actually 'correct'?  Being that I'm the maintainer of that code it'd be nice to know.

Mat's aolserver3.3oacs1.tar.gz uses current CVS code as of 20030309. It generates nspostgres.so. That file correctly passes SQL error messages to TCL pages in OpenACS. I have updated the documentation to use that distribution.

Since using nspostgres.so requires changes to config files, I also linked to a binary of the earlier driver, postgres.so, containing the patches.

So the nspostgres from Mat's tarball is correct, and he says he got it from aolserver's cvs.
