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".

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...

Fixed! LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection

Hi all! Since we implemented connection pool in Npgsql, we received some complaints about EOF log messages being generated on Postgresql logs when using Npgsql. This was caused by Npgsql not sending the proper terminate message to Postgresql on pooled connections when the application terminated or more specifically when the assembly was unloaded. This is a long time problem with Npgsql connection pool. I even talked about it in the past . Up to now, I had no idea about how to fix that as I wasn't able to close the connections in the pool. When I tried to put a finalizer in NpgsqlConnectorPool, which would be triggered when the assembly was unloaded, I received object already disposed exceptions when trying to send something to the stream. That's when I came up with the "excellent" idea of subclassing the networkstream class and override its Dispose method so that I could send the postgresql terminate message before it was disposed! :) It worked like a charm! ...

Npgsql 2.2.0 final release is out!

This is Npgsql 2.2.0 Final Release This release contains 249 commits since the last stable release. Includes bug fixes, improvements and new features. Update notice: If you have been using Npgsql 2.2.0-rc2, you don't need to update to this version. They are the same except for the Assembly version information. Major highlights Visual Studio DDEX support   Kenji Uno added support for DDEX. Now you can use Npgsql with Visual Studio data designer. This is a missing feature a lot of our users requested in the past. Kenji added a tutorial about how to use Npgsql with DDEX. You can find it here: https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql/wiki/Visual-Studio-Design-Time-Support---DDEX-Provider#install-npgsqlddexprovidervsix   Entity Framework   David Karlaš added support for EFMigration and Database creation in EF6+.
