Hello,The attached patch implements the below proposal, and moves libecpg.dll, libecpg_compat.dll, and libpgtypes.dll from lib to bin folder on Windows, where they should be.
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/10470B394DB8486F93AC60107CC44C8B@maumau As Andrew-san said, I don't expect it to be back-ported.In addition, I'll remove libpq.dll from lib folder unless somebody objects. Currently, libpq.dll is placed in both bin and lib. I guess libpq.dll was left in lib because it was considered necessary for ECPG DLLs.
Would removing libpq.dll from lib cause any problem? No. The following modules in lib need libpq.dll when they are loaded by postgres.exe by LoadLibrary(). But the necessary libpq.dll is loaded from bin folder. According to the DLL search order rule, DLLs are loaded from the same folder as the loading program, which is postgres.exe in our case.
dblink.dll libpqwalreceiver.dll postgres_fdw.dll Regards MauMau
