Fwd: XPg: a new Java PostgreSQL Interface

Gustavo,

I had a quick look at it, and it looks great!

Couple of questions?

1) Why did you choose the GPL license, I expect it cannot be added to
the postgres distribution with that license? Postgres is released under
the BSD license.

2) What did you modify in the driver to make it work?
3) You should post this on the jdbc list.

4) Not so much a question, but I have started a project on sourceforge
which is essentially the same project. http://sf.net/projects/jpgadmin.
I may be interested in collaborating.

Dave

Hello Dave... thank you for pay attention to our application.

Couple of questions?

Couple of answers! :)

1) Why did you choose the GPL license, I expect it cannot be added to
the postgres distribution with that license? Postgres is released under
the BSD license.

We choose the GPL license because we want that everyone could have
access to the application, including the source code. But we love it if
XPg is added or included as a part of the postgres distribution... it
would be great for us. If is necessary to change de license, we will do
it.

2) What did you modify in the driver to make it work?

We tried to get some information about foreing keys with the standar
JDBC... but it nevers works... :(

3) You should post this on the jdbc list.

I did it in several places... even java.sun.com... if you could help me
with others sites and mail lists... it will be nice ;)

4) Not so much a question, but I have started a project on sourceforge
which is essentially the same project. http://sf.net/projects/jpgadmin.
I may be interested in collaborating.

Your help and experience will be welcome always :)

Have a nice day.

Hi, i want to announce you the release of a new PostgreSQL Interface...

its

name is XPg, and it was made on Java under the GPL license.
Please, check the site... it could be a useful tool for much people

(although

the application is still under development).

The website of XPg is:
http://www.kazak.ws/xpg

The PostgreSQL hackers opinion about XPg is really important for us

developers.

Thank you for your attention.
Have nice day.

It would require a change of license ... but that wouldn't necessarily
get it included as part of the distribution.

With pg 7.2 I had no problems, but getting the development version from CVS I
am unable to compile. Specifically it does a:
make: *** No rule to make target `isinf.o', needed by `SUBSYS.o'. Stop.
within src/backend/port. I noticed that the Makefile setup has been changed
since the stable version.
Has it been tested on Solaris 9? Is something amiss in the new Makefile setup?

Thanks;
Eric

You just did ;-)

Is something amiss in the new Makefile setup?

Evidently. Send us a patch.

We are in the process of refactoring how the port-specific files are
used in PostgreSQL. Please grab a newer CVS and give it a try. Thanks.
