The PostgreSQL drivers are buggy. I fixed 2-3 bugs in it 5-6 months ago 
and sent patches to the maintainers of the PostgreSQL driver. I had a 
hard time convincing them that their code was bad, and they ended up 
rejecting my fixes. So I built the PostgreSQL driver myself and put it 
in Middlegen's CVS. Unfortunately, I no longer have the source code for 
my fixes (and I couldn't find PostgreSQL's bug tracker). -So my fixes 
to the PostgreSQL driver are probably lost.

Why can't you use the hacked driver with Middlegen and the official 
driver with your app? I mean, are these new features required for 
Middlegen?

If you could be more specific about what's wrong with the latest 
PostgreSQL drivers, perhaps you could notify the developers so they can 
fix it?
