--- Comment #14 from Greg Sabino Mullane <[email protected]> 2009-03-23 13:21:19 UTC --- > only the version of the DBMS the client library has been compiled with. This is the key point though: we can't be expected to run against a very, very old version of Postgres, even if "only" the client library. Version 7.4, which introduced PG protocol 3, came out in 2003. Version 7.3 of Postgres came out in *2002*. If you are working with something that was last updated against Postgres libraries from 2002 and is speaking PG protocol 2, there *will* be other problems. Far better to have it error out early with the version checking, than to limp along and hope that nothing else breaks. To put this in perspective, in 2002 MySQL version 4 had not even been released yet. Surely there is a precompiled version of PHP out there newer than that? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
