PostgreSQL SDBC driver

[Ariel Constenla-Haile]

Hi there,

it seems someone is trying to port the PostgreSQL SDBC driver to Mac
(http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104230)

I wonder if this could not be a chance to integrate the driver into OOo
source, as it does not seems an impossible task... mmm I will have to eat my
words, but I'm confident as:
* the fork may already have done that [I've seen a postgresql folder in their
patches]
* I tried building the driver using OOo build environment and was quite
straight-forward (on Linux)
* also using the OOo SDK build environment was quite simple (again: on Linux,
where I just linked against the system libs, no need to compile PostgreSQL)


Regards

I build it on DEV300_m52, but  like the one from issue 104230, the driver is
listed on the db wizard in 3.1.0 (OOO310m11 build 9399), but not in
DEV300_m52.

Didn't Ocke make some performance changes, asking now the driver configuration
instead of loading the driver library? I guess the PostgreSQL SDBC driver's
DataAccess.xcu may be missing some configuration item.

I recall some people on this list asking for a 64 bit version. Though compiled
on a 64 bit Fedora 11, the driver works fine on the DEV300_m52 I build myself,
but also  on OOO310m11 downloaded from OOo site. So if someone still needs a
64 bit version, let me know and I send it to you so you can give it a try
(chances are it also works on your system as I don't use [almost] any --with-
system configure switch).

Hi Ariel,

Lars Langhans once started this task, in CWS prototypepgsql. I admit I
don't remember at the moment why it was stalled. But yes, it shouldn't
be too much of a problem. We shouldn't forget we also need a legal
approval for including PostgreSQL headers/libs in an OOo/build.

Yes, sounds like that - those changes came into m52.

Ciao
