Looking for accommodation tips at Ottawa, Canada

Hi all!

I'm right now looking for accommodations in Ottawa, Canada. I'm going to do a presentation about Npgsql at PGCon2008 and as I never went to Ottawa I don't know of any good place to stay. If you have any tips about cheap hotels, hostels or anything , please, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Update: I'd really really thank you all of those who gave me tips about places in Ottawa. I already did my reservation and hope to see you there at PGCon2008!!

I booked the Best Western Victoria Park Suites. I just used a hotel search engine to look for hotels in the vicinity of the conference venue. If you stay within walking distance, you should do fine with any choice. There aren't any "bad" areas to avoid or something like that.

By far the spiffiest place is the Chateau Lauier, which is a hotel built in an old castle. If you want something a bit more practical, I suggest staying at the residence hall on campus; it's the closest place to the actual event, and very close to the Royal Oak pub. ;-)

In any case, make sure to check out the maps on the pgcon website.

There is a great little hostel downtown called the Ottawa Backpacker's Inn.

It is maybe a 10 minute walk from the university.

I work right near there and use the hostel as a place to round up subjects for testing our software.

All of the hostels in Ottawa

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...

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 ...
