is postgres-pr driver no longer supported? (problem with new transaction_active? method)
Reported by azimux | September 7th, 2008 @ 12:02 AM | in 2.x
I've noticed that recently the following method was added:
def transaction_active?
@connection.transaction_status != PQTRANS_IDLE
end
postgres-pr doesn't have a transaction_status method. The closest I notice in the postgres-pr code is:
class ReadyForQuery < Message
register_message_type ?Z
fields :backend_transaction_status_indicator
def dump
super(1) do |buffer|
buffer.write_byte(@backend_transaction_status_indicator)
end
end
def parse(buffer)
super do
@backend_transaction_status_indicator = buffer.read_byte
end
end
end
however I can't figure out how best to use this snippet of code, I can't find anything that calls this method to see how it's used.

One thing worth mentioning: I brought this up on rubyforge and learned that postgres-pr is not really being actively maintained at the moment and hasn't been for some time. So I've gone ahead and moved to ruby-postgres which is slightly annoying for a few minor reasons, but certainly doable.
So perhaps supporting postgres-pr isn't a big deal, although ruby-postgres doesn't seem to be very actively maintained either...

- State changed from “new” to “wontfix”
ruby-pg is being maintained, and the author also maintains the old ruby-postgres gem. I guess postgres-pr is really old enough not to be worth supporting when there are so many newer alternatives.

Indeed, although ruby-pg doesn't build on windows
ruby-postgres does work on windows but requires some .dll's to be copied around to use it with > 8.0 It also seems it hasn't had any changes since January
The thing that was nice about postgres-pr is it was platform independent. It's a shame postgres-pr went inactive.
