Hi all,
I installed the module (I'm at CentOS 6.6) by yum install luasql-postgres, ok.
Then I used:
lua myscript.lua
/usr/bin/lua myscript.lua
/usr/local/bin/lua myscript.lua
I discovered that it is version dependent: lua (=/usr/local/bin/lua) does not
operate, it is 5.3, whereas /usr/bin/lua works ok, it is 5.1.
At the command line, it is not a problem to choose another lua interpreter than
the default one is.
But if I use the same lua script within the ConTeXt, I came across the same
problem because the default version in ConTeXt is 5.2.
First, I thought about the way how to change version of lua inside the current
version of ConTeXt (is it possible?)
but the same behaviour appeared when I tryed older versions (TL 2010, 2011,
2012) containing lua v5.1 by the default.
It seems that file postgres.so which is the main important is not visible for
ConTeXt.
Neither
package.path = '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/luasql;',
not copying the postgres.so to the current directory did not help.
I have any clue how to fix it. Have you any ideas?
I never used postgres (it's on my todo list to have a look at it, as we
also ship mysql and sqlite support in context where we don't depend on
libraries).
The current Luatex is 5.2 so you can forget about 5.1 then. Beginnning
next year we will switch the garden version of luatex to use lua 5.3 but
for tex live we will wait till after the 2018 code freeze (we might
provide an extra luatex53 for testing so that one can take a year to
update). We might provide a compile switch for 5.2 after we move
forward. The context code is already 5.3 ready (that is: for as far as
we can see and have tested) and i run luatex with 5.3 .. so, you can:
(1) wait till we move the 53 related code into experimental (this might
happen around the turn of the year
(2) decide to delay 5.3 till we release a beta based on experimental
(3) find some 52 suitable code (and keep in mind then that we will move
to 53)
For those who are curious about why we don't simply switch: there is a
fundamental low level change in lua (number system) that in some usage
can have consequences. Our (luigi and i) experiences are:
(1) one has to adapt code, but it's often clear when; one also have to
realize that luajittex is a hybrid 5.1/5.2 and some day maybe 5.3
(2) we have done quite some testing to figure out a dramatic
(showstopping) slowdown in number to string conversion but in the end
managed to get around it
(3) we measure some 5-10 overal speed improvement on average context
usage (upto some 10% on lua runs but we spend only 50% time in lua, so
th egap between luatex and luajittex becomes smaller) as tex has a lot
of integer manipulations
In retrospect on the one hand it was easier than we thought but we spent
quite some time on it anyway (and of course we then wonder if it's worth
the time and trouble as it never pays off).
Thanks in advance,
Tomáš
