Hi Fredrik, Good to know that Postgres v9.0 and v9.1 are working for you. The OpenJPA documentation could very well be out of date. But, we do rely on volunteers to perform testing and verification of the various database versions. Especially with the open-source database variations.
Due to the recent questions regarding Postgres on the mailing lists, I did reach out to the developer that used to "maintain" the Postgres DBDictionary. Unfortunately, he has some new responsibilities and will not be able to perform the verification that he used to perform for Postgres. So, we are looking for a new volunteer... OpenJPA has a large suite of JUnits. By default, the test bucket is run with Derby, but it is easily configurable to run with other databases. If anybody has the bandwidth to run the JUnit bucket against newer versions of Postgres and follow-up with any incompatibilities, it would be greatly appreciated! And, then maybe we can get the documentation up-to-date... :-) Thanks, Kevin On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 5:04 AM, Fredrik Jonson <fred...@jonson.org> wrote: > Kevin Sutter wrote: > > > It looks like OpenJPA has only been tested with v8.4. > > > http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/latest/docs/docbook/manual.html#dbsupport > > Wonder if that's not mostly a sign that this section of the docs is > outdated? > > Otherwise: what is the procedure for getting a not-so-ancient verison of > postgresql on to that list?
