Hi everyone,

Just found out that the "pgdiff" utility (the one for comparing two 
different PostgreSQL database's) was released and uploaded to 
SourceForge in November:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgdiff

Have people already looked at this?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Have people taken a look at pgdiff yet?

I started... but had to install and configure AOLServer, which took more
time than I had allotted to thie experiment.  I never was able to get a
diff to run.  I think a good pratical and working example is needed for
that utility.  I'd like to see how it works.

A diff utility with a mandatory GUI frontend through a webserver is
positively the most bizarre thing I have ever heard of.

No, AOLserver is just that good at database connectivity.... :-)  And it makes 
a great development environment for various db utilities.  Although the 
pgdiff people might should mention the need on their summary page....

I've heard of more bizarre things, though.....

I second that, if that is the case....

I'm busy trying to set up AOLserver to access PostgreSQL. Can you offer any 
advice on what driver to use (docs aren't entirely clear on the virtues of 
the internal PostgreSQL driver vs. the ARSdigita driver and it looks like the 
ARSdigita is being merged into the AOLserver code but that's in a beta state 
- a bit of a headache for an AOLserver newbie).

Cheers,
Steve

The officially sanctioned latest driver version in 3.5, found on the 
SourceForge AOLserver file download page.

OpenACS is built on top of AOLserver, it's true; they are still separate 
projects, even though the driver has hooks in it for OpenACS use.  The 
OpenACS sample tcl config shows how to load the nspostgres driver (even 
though it may call it 'postgres' instead).
