Changing build system file Npgsql.build and AssemblyInfo

Hi all!

I just committed a change to our Npgsql.build file in order to easy
package distribution generation as well as integration with
CruiseControl. Yes, Npgsql is going to have a cruisecontrol server.
More details later.

The biggest change is that our AssemblyInfo.cs file can be generated
automatically. This will be needed in order to generate assembly
versions with a value cruise control server will assign to each build.

So, now, in order to generate a build, you will need to specify the
CCNetLabel property. You don't have to, but if you don't, Npgsql build
will have a 0.0.0.0 version value.

You just need to do:


./build.sh -D:CCNetLabel=2.0.9.0 ccnet

And it will generate an AssemblyInfo.cs like this:


using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Resources;

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <autogenerated>
// This code was generated by a tool.
// Mono Runtime Version: 2.0.50727.1433
//
// Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
// the code is regenerated.
// </autogenerated>
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[assembly: CLSCompliantAttribute(true)]
[assembly: AssemblyTitleAttribute("Npgsql - .Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescriptionAttribute(".Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompanyAttribute("Npgsql Development Team")]
[assembly: AssemblyProductAttribute("Npgsql")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyrightAttribute("Copyright © 2002 - 2010 Npgsql Development Team")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademarkAttribute("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersionAttribute("2.0.9.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersionAttribute("2.0.9.0")]
[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en", UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.MainAssembly)]




This ccnet doesn't only generate the AssemblyInfo.cs file. This is in fact done by the createAssemblyInfo which ccnet depends on.

ccnet builds everything. It cleans up the build folder, builds, run the analysis tools and create the
packages. As its name implies, it will be called by cruisecontrol server in order to create the builds.

This is the first shot on this issue, so if you have comments or
suggestions, please let me know.


Thanks in advance.

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! :)

Using Entity Framework 6 with Npgsql 2.1.0

UPDATE (2014-05-19): Marek Beneš noticed a problem in the default connection factory config. It is fixed now. Thanks, Marek! UPDATE (2014-02-20): I created a new post explaining how to get Npgsql 2.1.0. Although this post is about EF 6, I'd like to talk about our current situation to support both EF 6 and EF4.x which explain why there are some subtle changes between EF 4.x and EF 6.x App.config settings.  Support for EF versions 4.x and 6.x Sometime after we started to work on Npgsql 2.1.0, we started to add code to support EF6 and decided to reorganize our Entity Framework support code. Shay created a pull request to organize this change and isolate the EF code out of core Npgsql code. The result was the creation of two separated assemblies: Npgsql.EntityFramework.dll for EF6 and above; Npgsql.EntityFrameworkLegacy.dll for EF4.x. Only when using Npgsql with EF6 you will need to reference Npgsql.EntityFramework.dll assembly. This is needed because the EF

Initial EF-6 support added to Npgsql

In my last post , I said there is a pull request by Pēteris Ņikiforovs to add support for EF-6 to Npgsql. Yesterday, I merged this pull request to the master branch of Npgsql . With this merge, Npgsql has officially initial support for EF-6! How to compile For now, in order to compile Npgsql to use EF-6, you have to open the solution file NpgsqlEF6.sln. Later,  as suggested by Pēteris Ņikiforovs , the idea is that we create a new configuration inside main project solution instead of maintain 2 separated projects. Another thing you will need to compile Npgsql is the latest release of EntityFramework assembly through NuGet: PM> Install-Package EntityFramework -Pre That's it! Now you will be able to play with Npgsql and EF-6. Check out my previous post about how to use Npgsql with EntityFramework. I'd like to thank Pēteris Ņikiforovs for his patch. And maxbundchen for his patch about Open/Close events needed for EF-6. Please, give it a try and let me know how it
