Hi,
Following on from my earlier questions about alternatives to Hypersonic, a
few people recommended Postgres.
Well, I'd been meaning to try Postgres generally for a long time anyway, so
downloaded the latest version from the site (703) and installed it.
Orion wouldn't run with it, complaining about lack of binary object support
(fair enough given that looking inthe JDBC source reveals that it's not
implemented in 703!). Thing is, I was talking to the guy who wrote the
Postgres drivers and it sounds like there was no stream support in 6.5
either; this is new in 7.1 (which isn't released yet). But Orion must
require the use of somthing like this to store serialized data, surely?
So what are the people on the list who use Postgres actually using? Have you
patched the JDBC drivers to work, or did someone release patched 6.5 drivers
for Postgres which everyone's installed? Or have you modified Orion to
serialize data using some other mechanism to the default? I imagine most
people on the list are using 6.5 rather than 7.0.3? Confusing, to say the
least...
cheers
Jules
