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.

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! ...

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 ...
