Thread: New version of PgAccess released - 0.80

Hello all,

is good to be back again :-) because last week I've got a flue , I had
to stay at home but fortunatelly I succeded getting a notebook with me
and worked a little bit at PgAccess again.

What's new in this 0.80 version of PgAccess ?

The most important thing is that I introduced the form design module.
It's in an early alpha stage but I intend to make it full functional
until the next PostgreSQL 6.3 official release so it could be included
in the CD distribution. BTW, when should this happen ? Also, I would
like to release it a week or two before in order to get some feed-back
from users.

I didn't succeed trying to make Visual Tcl to work as a module of
PgAccess so I decided to reinvent the wheel and writing a tiny and less
performant form designer of my own. It wouldn't be certainly  better
than Vtcl but it would be quite good for database forms designing. Also,
I would like to improve it in that direction, because it deals with
databases, tables, etc.

More information on http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess/forms.html

You can download the last version (as always) from
http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess or by ftp from ftp.flex.ro/pub/pgaccess

I am burning getting some reply's from any of you :-)

All the best,

I have tried today PgAccess 0.80 against the latest postgreSQL 6.3
snapshot (February 23).
Compilation was OK (after solving the problem of cpp path that configure
script didn't detected !!!) and I have installed libpgtcl.so and
libpq.so into my /lib directory.

postmaster should be launched with -i option.

Everything is working fine !!!

Bruce, could you tell me please when the official 6.3 should be released
? I am working hard to finalize a 0.8x version of PgAccess having the
form design module full functional.
Also I want to write some documentation for the CD distribution. How
much time do I have ?

    I will be packaging up v6.3 on Monday morning, so the *latest* you
can get me new code for inclusion will be *before* 8:30am ADT (GMT-4?) for
it to make it in...
