odbc eating parser error messages? - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hi All!


I'm using PostgreSQL on Win XP (cygwin bundled) and the latest postgreSQL
ODBC driver
for windows.

I develop with IBM VA SMalltalk 5.5.2. I'm porting an app from MS SQL -
ODBC. The
app is running for month without any error.

Everything is working just fine - when working - BUT:

ODBC driver is not reporting parser errors or reports in a way which is not
recognized
by VA Smalltalk or the WIndows built-on ODBC manager....

My postgreSQL.conf is at the end of the mail. I'm a beginner with
postgreSQL,
however I would like to use it as it seems great and knowns as much - or
even more - than
Oracle what I also used before. (MS SQL seemed to me like an RDBMS emulator
or something :).


WHAT could be the reason of that my developer tool is not recognizing error
messages?
The problem really is that a not recognized error causes ugly problems
runtime
because cursors (though to be correct) are not free so I got general
protection fault messages
when exiting.

My only chance to know what is the problem is to look at the cygwin terminal
window
and read the logs. Error messages would be much better.

thanks

Robert

# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The '=' is optional.) White space may be used. Comments are introduced
# with '#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of option names and
# allowed values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation. The
# commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
#
# Any option can also be given as a command line switch to the
# postmaster, e.g. 'postmaster -c log_connections=on'. Some options
# can be changed at run-time with the 'SET' SQL command.
#
# This file is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster
# receives a SIGHUP. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use
# "pg_ctl reload".
