I have seen a bunch of reports of people not being able to connect to Oracle via DBI-Link on the spanish list, so this definitely has bitten some people. I'm not sure that it's all that rare. > As for alternate solutions, the only thing I can think of is a config > parameter to disable rewrite of the ps line. We already have one; it's called update_process_title. Maybe DBI-Link could set the title to something else before attempting the connection. (And perhaps locally set update_process_title to off.) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
