Dear list, I have used the PostgreSQL SDBC driver for a while ...on x86 machines. I currently use a new laptop with an Intel Core2 Duo. Consequently, I installed Ubuntu Hardy amd64. This distribution has a openoffice.org-sdbc-postgresql package, which is 0.7.5, and no update yet to 0.7.6.
The links posted on http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html point to zip files containing 32-bit shared libraries (and 32 bit Windows libraries, BTW), uninstallable on a 64-bit distribution. (Yes, I've checked that the Ubuntu package install 64-bit code...). Rebuilding this package seems to entail rebuilding the whole openoffice.org (i. e. about 50 packages needing about 70 new tools, and a multi-gigabyte affair, last time I tried). A bit stiff for laptop... According to what I read on the driver age, rebuilding just the zip file seem to entail whole OOo 1.x build environment. Yayy !... Would it be possible to have updated amd64 versions on the Web page and/or accessible by the "Tools/Extensions/Update" tool on the OOo interface. It works *well* on x86 installations, and amd64 should be no different (64-bit platforms are still a minority, thanks to the incompetence of Microsoft, but are probably the future. No reason to tolerate them being treated as second-class citizens...).
