who uploaded PostgresV2-pf.7 to squeaksource?

The initials "pf" aren't registered. :(

I need to know if more maintenance is planned, or if I can just take over... I
found a problem with the types returned in the current protocol.

A few people have submitted fixes & proposed enhancements. I had hoped
to roll them together into a maintenance release, but that hasn't
happened yet -- was hoping to get back to Squeaking come the new year,
but my gig was extended.

The project is public-writable, so I think those who are actively using
PostgresV2 (not me at the moment) should just go ahead and maintain it.

BTW, on map.squeak.org, it's clear that the PostgresV2 is under
SqueakL+MIT license. Is it safe to assume that contributors have
implicitly released their changes under the same license?

do not ask about that :)
Just say if you publish on my repository it is assume that this is
with the same license.

Don't we like this polution of our life with all this great license %
^&.... wonderful lawer world.

"PostgresV2-pf.7" - it's my changes.

I added two methods:
PGConnection#executeAndCheckResult: sqlString
PGConnection#execute: sqlString withRowBlock: aRowBlock

Without my changes, you cannot iterate big PostgreSQL table (with 5
000 000 rows for example).
Default behaviour is: load whole resultset into memory - this is nice
for small tables or applications like "sample blog". But for real use,
you need to code with SQL CURSORs again and again...

Look at "beginners" mailing list archive for messages with subject
"PostgresV2 and bulk resultsets".

I changed the code to be able to configure the client encoding
between squeak and postgres (side effects are in execute: and
in the field converters). This has to be configured externally
(external to PGConnection). But I don't like the approach like
it is. In my working copy I defaulted the client encoding to
utf-8 (in PGConnection>>startUp. The change is attached) to make
my life easier. Having some negotation between the driver and the
database, e.g. to set the client encoding would be useful.
