What I want is VC++ projects(*.dsp, *.dsw). Once the project files is created, the maintance work is simply add/remove some new/deleted source files (*.c only) from the dsps. And I think VC++ 6.0 is ok, it is power enough and not so big for pgsql's development. And latter versions of VC++ can automatically convert 6.0's project files. There are also a "VC++7 to VC++6 project converter" on www.codeproject.com. > I agree with Andrew though - maintaining VC++ project files or nmake > files is just not practical - especially given that most of our > developers are not Windows users. I am expecting more and more Windows users to join us. According to Andrew's advice, I will try to start a project on pgfoundry to provide the VC++ project files. > Regards, Dave. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
