DBI/DBD anyone?

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....

DBD-Pg is broken from Jun 20 snapshot ?

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,

Oleg
