Package: odbc-postgresql Version: 1:07.03.0200-5 Severity: important
This is a re-filing of a former "wishlist" bug, which as been (wrongly, IMHO) closed. The current PostgreSQL ODBC driver still behaves as a V2 ODBC driver, which translates in various annoying limitations (no long integers, no schema use, no view creation, etc ...). I saw in the answers to my previous bug report that the current psqlodbc source is currently "hopelessly broken" and that a new version should be "V3 only". A cursory look at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions/full/ shows a file psqlodbc-07_03_0200.zip. Is this the new "V3 only" version expected ? I flag this bug as important because schema use and vew creation are very important features, used by more and more day-to-day apps. Note on related subject : Steve Langasek, which maintains the unixODBC Debian packages, wasn't inclined (to say the least) to package unixODBC drivers, which *do* provide some of the V3 features needed, which leaves Debian users with no easily installable functional ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL. The workaround is, of course, to compile the upstream unixODBC (wich has about 2 years of bugfixes over the Debian version, BTW), but this seriously messes up with Debian config.
