I have a patch which enables communication with Postgresql servers
running v8.0. See attached.
Hi Andres,
thanks for the patch. The modern 5.x versions actually are meant to
support only Postgres 9.x (and are tested only against it). We maintain
a 4.x branch if you still need old Python and Postgres versions.
Is the missing typcategory the only place where Postgres 9 is currently
assumed on the remote server? Did you run the full test suite against
Pg 8 with this patch? In that case maybe we could support Postgres 8
with that patch on the remote side. We would still require a modern
pqlib on the client side.
Instead of setting typcategory to null, we could also add a simple map
of typtype to typcategory ('a' -> 'A' etc.) so that detecting arrays
and other base types via typcategory would still work.
Also, typcategory was already introduced in 8.4, so the check should be
version < 80400.
