Thread: libpq 8.3 and 8.4 interfaces
Hello,
Could someone point me, where I can find the difference between libpq 8.3 and 8.4, I have seen the new features of the 8.4, but I want to know about the API interface changes
Thanks in advance

I don't believe there are any API 'changes' that break backwards compatability, but new versions might add APIs (I can't recall any such between 8.3 and 8.4, however). -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast

open
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/libpq.html
and
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/libpq.html
side by side and compare each subchapter ?

Certainly the release notes will document any changes.

Hello Bruce,
Nothing is missing, I was looking for a summary of what has changed in libpq. But certainly the links are more than helpful. Thanks again for the quick response
