Hi guys,
Not sure if Peter was joking, but Ian's approach sounds much more
user-friendly.
Getting Oracle users to convert to PostgreSQL then be "stuck-with-it"
because they can't afford the migration elsewhere is not the right
approach.
PostgreSQL is a really good product, and the best way to e

No we don't. There are no SetQuerySnapshot calls occuring *within*
a query. An example of why that would be unacceptable: consider
select myfunc

Peter,
Can we do something similar for the distribution to set the
RUNPATH for Pg.so?
Index: Makefile.PL
===
RCS file: /home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/pgsql/src/interfaces
Included is a example program appears in our docs (libpq.sgml).
As you can see, the very last part of the program:
PQfinish(conn);
return 0;
never execute. Should we remove them?
