Thread: old Pg interface
I'm currently using version 1.9.0 of the old Pg interface with PostgreSQL 8.0.3. Our code needs to be updated to use DBI/DBD::Pg, but we need to upgrade PostgreSQL before this is going to happen. Does anyone know of any issues with continuing to use the old Pg interface with newer versions of PostgreSQL? Thanks. -- Brandon

I have a lot of code that still uses the old Pg interface. It works fine against newer versions. There's no requirement to change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I added some compatibility functions and it worked with new PostgreSQL.
Let me know if you need it
