Karun Dambiec <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|1.14-svn |unspecified --- Comment #28 from Karun Dambiec <[email protected]> 2009-05-10 03:12:14 UTC --- tsnowman proposes in the forum page (http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10799) referred to in Bug 18742 proposes that the client and server versions is checked. This approach appears to resolve the issue on Windows. I am unsure whether that is the best approach to correct the problem, as we may have a 8.1 client, and a 7.0 server. /** * @return string Version information from the database */ function getServerVersion() { $versionInfo = pg_version( $this->mConn ); if ( isset( $versionInfo['server'] ) ) { $this->numeric_version = $versionInfo['server']; } else { // There's no way to identify the precise version before 7.4, but // it doesn't matter anyway since we're just going to give an error. $this->numeric_version = '7.3 or earlier'; } return $this->numeric_version; } With regards to protocol used, this may be not as much of an issue, compared to whether the database and MediaWiki uses any PostGreSQL features that are only available in a specific version or later. From http://au.php.net/manual/en/pgsql.requirements.php it appears that specific functions require 8.0 or later. So if we are not using any functions that require 8.0 or late, it may be possible to just not check the postgresql version. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
