Is anyone using PostGreSql?

I can’t find any documentation on how to get Data Dictionary information from PostGreSql.
The below statement works in PgAdmin but not in Xbase++.
I tried the SELECT command and the USE command to no avail.
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE table_schema = 'public'
I am not having problems accessing data from Northwind and also other databases that I have upsized, so I know that I am communicating with the server.

try this way
Code: Select all
::cQuery := "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables " + ;
"WHERE table_schema = 'public'"

That doesn't work either.
What is ::cQuery ?
What command or function do you run after creating the statement?
It appears that the only way that Postgresql is useful is via the ODBCDBE.

hi,
i'm using PostgreSQL native this Way.
Code: Select all
// send Query
//
IF ::oPG:Exec( ::cQuery )
::oR_Table := ::oPG:result

What class is ::oPG ?
What do you mean by native?
Are you using a 3rd party library?

hi,
i just use libpq.dll*** (32bit) native to access PostgreSQL. it is based on Phil Ide CLASS from 2003.
- xbpgsql.zip
- Original Version from Phil Ide
- (38.57 KiB) Downloaded 1081 times
as i use ot4xb i use Xbase++ Wrapper from Pablo Botella.
have fun
*** Note : libpq.dll itself need some *.DLL
copy all *.DLL (except wxbase28u*.DLL) from \PostgreSQL\xx.x\bin\ into your Xbase++ App Directory

I found a solution. I discovered DacSqlStatement().
Code: Select all
IF(!DbeLoad("pgdbe"))
Alert( "Unable to load the PostgreSQL DatabaseEngine", {"Quit"} )
QUIT
ENDIF
// Establish the connection
cConnect := "DBE=pgdbe;SERVER=localhost;DB=northwind;UID=postgres;PWD=" + GetEnv('POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD')
oSession := DacSession():New( cConnect ):GetDefault()
IF .NOT. oSession:isConnected()
DCMSGBOX oSession:GetLastMessage(), ;
"Unable to establish connection to server"
QUIT
ENDIF
cSql := "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS" + ;
" WHERE table_schema = 'public'" + ;
" ORDER BY table_name,column_name"
oStmt := DacSqlStatement():FromChar(cSql)
oStmt:Build():Query(,'TABLES')
DC_Dot()

Hi Roger
How about the performance of pgdbe from your current interraction ?
Thanks

How about the performance of pgdbe
I don't use it in ISAM mode because it still doesn't work.
If I open a table with dbUsearea() it doesn't navigate correctly.
But if I open the same table with SELECT * it works fine.
Performance seems pretty good in SQL mode.
