Re: [HACKERS] v7.1 beta 1 (ODBC driver?)

I just recently heard from Julia Case, who is willing to work on
maintaining the ODBC drivers after Xmas ... for those that don't know the
name, she was pretty much the original ODBC developer/maintainer, until
work overwhelmed her ...

The official ODBC driver from pg7.0.x doesn't work w/7.1 (b/c of the
changes in the system catalogs, IIRC).

The CVS 7.1devel code works and builds easily, but I suspect 99%
of the beta testers won't have Visual C++ or won't be able to
compile the driver. Is there an official driver-compiler-person that
could package this up for 7.1beta?

(I know that a binary driver isn't part of the beta per se, and that
it's not *unreleasable* to think that everyone could compile their
own, but I bought VC++ just to compile this driver, and would hate
to see M$ get richer for even more people. Also, I doubt we'd want
to impugn the perceived quality of 7.1beta b/c people don't
understand that its just the ODBC drivers that out-of-date.)

If there's no one official tasked w/this, I'd be happy to submit my
compiled version, at http://www.scw.org/pgaccess.
