PostgreSQL Question

Hi,
Does the postgresql provider require libpq.dll or is it using the native wire protocol?

Also in the beta version is it possible to receive notifications from the server? For example if I execute a create table statement Postgresql sends notificatons back to the client with information on the create table status. Also if you run maintenance i.e. vaccume Reindex etc the details of the operation are sent back to the client as notifications.

No, UniDAC PostgreSQL provider does not require libpq.dll for work.

Now there is no possibility to recieve PostgreSQL server notices. This will be avalilable in PgDAC. We will consider this functionality and try to implelemnt it in the release version of UniDAC 2.

Is there going to be a beta for PgDAC? I would be more interested in that vs the Unidac because of the notification support.

We are planning to release the beta version of PgDAC in about three weeks.

One more question, will PGDac work in Lazarus/Free Pascal?

Looking forward to the PgDAC beta.

We are planning to include Free Pascal and Lazarus support in the final (non-beta) release of PgDAC.
