[vwnc] PostgreSQL server version for CINCOM public store ?

Hello Smalltalkers

I'm writing a new PostgreSQLEXDI as my first Smalltalk program - I think
the very low level stuffs are done, but I couldn't get a test connection
for the cincom public store.

Because my code uses PostgreSQL 8.1+ APIs, it might not work with old
PostgreSQL servers. Anyone knows the store's PostgreSQL is 8.1+ or not?

Also, is anyone interested in such a package? (If there is any public
interest, I may prepare a package and make its license free)

Cheers

I'd say that is already answered in his original post.

The obvious counterquestion is:

Why do people still write 'hello world' programs?

Hi there,

Have you implemented the drivers for version 3.0 of the PostgreSQL
FE/BE protocol version down to socket level?  If so, great stuff!
That's been on my list of things to do for ages, but I had no pressing
motivation.

The documentations says that version 3.0 was first released on
PostgreSQL 7.4.  I don't know what back end Cincom are using but I
know they upgraded not too long ago so I would be surprised if the
version was less than 7.4.

Have you been able to test again many versions of PostgreSQL so far?
In my testing I tend to use VMWare with different versions of the back
end installed.

All the best,
    Bruce
