  1. DBI/DBD anyone?

    Vince Vielhaber <vev@michvhf.com> — 1998-06-23T19:16:54Z

    I'm sending this one to both hackers and interfaces (not sure which one
    it really pertains to) but I have the reply-to set to interfaces.
    
    Anyway...
    
    I'm trying to set up dbd/dbi and all went well until I got to test DBD.
    The README says it's for 6.2+, but fails when trying to create a table
    like so:
    
    CREATE TABLE builtin (
     bool    bool,
     char    char,
     char16  char16,
     text    text,
     date    date,
     int4    int4,
     int4_   int4[],
     float8  float8,
     point   point,
     lseg    lseg,
     box     box
    )
    
    I get the error:  ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "char"
    
    Same thing when I try to create it from psql.  Since I know I can
    create tables all day long with the user I am at the time I have to
    think there's something changed in PostgreSQL, although I didn't 
    find anything that would point to the problem in any of the docs.
    That's why I'm sending this to both lists.  Was there a change in 
    datatypes or is there something wrong with the perl script that does
    the test; I'm rather perl un-savvy!  I'm running 6.3 and perl 5.00404
    on FreeBSD 2.2.6.
    
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    
    Vince.

    use DBD-Pg-0.73.tar.gz and please report the version of DBD-Pg if you
    have problems with this module.

    Looks like I found a site with an old version.  It's 0.63 and I just
    ftp'd it yesterday!  Where do I find 0.73?  I don't see any reference
    in the README.

    I just looked back to where I'd been and I see that Hermetica had the
    reference to 0.73 so I just grabbed it.  Now I'm not sure where I found
    0.63.

    As any other perl module from CPAN. Try 
    
            http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBD/
    
    The multiplex dispatcher will automatically route your
    request to the nearest CPAN site.

    Hmmmm, isn't 'char' a reserved word? try to create this table with 
    different column names....

  7. DBD-Pg is broken from Jun 20 snapshot ?

    Oleg Bartunov <oleg@sai.msu.su> — 1998-07-01T13:52:24Z

    Hi,
    
    after installing Jun 20 snapshot I 'm unable to compile DBD-Pg v 0.73
    It seems that there were many changes in libpq. 
    Edmund, did you try latest snapshots ?
    
    	Regards,
