Life after PGCon2008...

PGCon 2008 was awesome!!! I could meet a lot of people from postgresql community and take a lot of pictures!! I even got a picture with Tom Lane! Thank you very much, Selena! :)

I finally could meet Dave Page in person. Dave has helped Npgsql project in the beginning, 2002 and we never have met before!

I also could meet Magnus Hagander in person. He is a very nice person. I saw some of his talks and was very good!

I also could meet Hiroshi Saito and Josh Cooley. Hiroshi Saito is a big evangelist of Npgsql in Japan and has done a great work to talk to others about Npgsql there. Josh Cooley has been working on Npgsql adding nice features, like System.Transactions and entity framework support, and fixing bugs. I enjoyed very much to meet them and doing the presentation. Our presentation was very nice considering this was my first time doing a presentation in english. Josh said my english was good, so I was ok. Thank you Josh!

Another person I enjoyed very much to talk to was Selena. She is very nice. She makes me remember of Brazilian girls because she is very active and has very strong energy. She even talked about my twitter and so this explains why suddenly I started to be followed by some other people!! Selena, it was a great pleasure to meet you.

I'd like to thank Dan Langille for his support which allowed me to be here in Canada to attend this conference.


The unexpected thing which occur in this PGCon2008 was that Fernando Ike who was doing a presentation just before mine asked me to make a real time translation of his speech! So, just before I do my first talk in english I had to make my first real time translation! I must confess that I was very nervous but in the end everything was fine!

Well, that's it! I will add more later.

See you.....

Para alguém que fala Inglês, "I could meet" quer dizer "eu poderia ter encontrado" (mas ainda não encontrei). Geralmente, se diz "I met".
So nice to meet you as well! I hope that I'm able to make it to Brazil sometime soon.

UUID datatype and COPY IN/OUT support added to cvs

Hi all! It was just added support to uuid datatype in cvs head. This type will be available in next Postgresql release 8.3. Thanks to David Bachmann for his patch! You can get more info about this patch in this mailing list post . Also was added support for copy in and copy out operations. Now, users can provide streams which can be copied directly to and from Postgresql tables! Thanks to Kalle Hallivuori for providing a patch! Thanks to Truviso for giving support to Kalle. More info about that including a demo and ready to use compiled Npgsql.dll versions can be found here . That's it! As soon as we get more features added, I will post info about them here. Stay tuned! :)

Npgsql Tips: Using " in (...)" queries with parameters list and "any" operator

Hi, all! We have received some users questions about how to send a list of values to be used in queries using the "in" operator. Something like: select foo, bar from table where foo in (blah1, blah2, blah3); Npgsql supports array-like parameter values and the first idea to have this working would try to use it directly: NpgsqlCommand command = new NpgsqlCommand("select * from tablee where field_serial in (:parameterlist)", conn); ArrayList l = new ArrayList(); l.Add(5); l.Add(6); command.Parameters.Add(new NpgsqlParameter("parameterlist", NpgsqlDbType.Array | NpgsqlDbType.Integer)); command.Parameters[0].Value = l.ToArray(); NpgsqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader(); but unfortunately this won't work as expected. Npgsql will send a query like this: select * from tablee where field_serial in ((array[5,6])::int4[]) And Postgresql will complain with the followin

Stream seek error

Hi all! Since Npgsql RC1, we started to receive some error reports about problems when closing connections. The typical stack trace looked like this: System.NotSupportedException : This stream does not support seek operations. at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Seek(Int64 offset, SeekOrigin origin) at System.IO.BufferedStream.FlushRead() at System.IO.BufferedStream.WriteByte(Byte value) − at Npgsql.NpgsqlQuery.WriteToStream(Stream outputStream) in C:\Npgsql\Npgsql2\src\Npgsql\NpgsqlQuery.cs:line 62 − at Npgsql.NpgsqlReadyState.QueryEnum(NpgsqlConnector context, NpgsqlCommand command) in C:\Npgsql\Npgsql2\src\Npgsql\NpgsqlReadyState.cs:line 64 − at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnector.ReleasePlansPortals() in C:\Npgsql\Npgsql2\src\Npgsql\NpgsqlConnector.cs:line 373 − at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnectorPool.UngetPooledConnector(NpgsqlConnection Connection, NpgsqlConnector Connector) in C:\Npgsql\Npgsql2\src\Npgsql\NpgsqlConnectorPool.cs:line 541 − at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnectorPool.ReleasePooledConnector(NpgsqlConn
