There was barely any discussion at all about this... I do follow the
lists involved even though I didn't respond to the question regarding
this (either time it was asked) because I didn't understand that
'hybrid' meant 'only using libpq for the connection'. I'm curious how
many others of those being asked understood this... I think the fact
that you had to ask twice to get any response at all is a good
indication.
Does the latest verion in CVS support V3 of the wireline protocol? If I
recall correctly, the version it was based on still only supported V2...
What does the wireline protocol implementation in the ODBC driver do
that it can't get through libpq? I can certainly understand the
double-copying issue (I complained about that myself when first starting
to use libpq) but I think that could be fixed without that much
difficulty. Were there other things?
Thanks,
Stephen
