RE: MDB patch and postgres driver

I actually write a little howto that is in CVS (part Readme.txt), but I had some problems with packaging. Anyways there I suggested a slightly different approach, but yours seems to have worked out well (I will look at the code later). > Some things I haven't touched yet like sequences, so you'll still see > mysql_* funtions here and there.

LIMBOURG Arnaud [arnaud.limbourg@cegetel.fr] wanted to help out there, but he is swamped with work and therefore did not get started yet. If you also want to help out in thet respect :-) I am actually currently incorporating some changes that Metabase currently has in beta: - some bug fixes - loading all rdbms management methods on demand - creating an xml schema file from an existing rdbms Actually I am done with those and I am now just playing around with the xml schema manager (something which I have regretfully not done a lot with uptil now) > Also I would have thought it would be sensible to stick the drivers in a > subdirectory, to make things clearer. Yeah .. the number of files is getting larger and larger, so I will probably start moving things into subdirs pretty soon.
