Hi

Will certainly be on the channel from time to time, sometimes on #koffice.

I thought kexi was using cql as its internal db?

Im not bothered about the api changing, i keep my cvs copy up to date now 
and then

I do have a major problem at the moment, the mysql driver creates 
kexidbfield objects instansiated with the tablename....this uses a mysql c 
function that returns the table name of a files in a result.....the 
postgres c library has no such function.  Does kexi not know the table 
names ass it handles the querying? what suggestion do you have for this 
problem as it breaks a few things in the driver.  Other information that 
the mysql c library has functions for such as details field info i can get 
by querying the postgresql system catalog tables (there is no c function 
for this either) but it depends on knowing the table the field came 
from.  o this is quite a big problem for me at the moment.

And i definitely agree that kexi should work with postgres as the way i see 
it 'why use mysql when you can use postgresql' :o)

Oh and would it be possible to get the kexi headers installed with a make 
install? ideally my driver would go into cvs but i dont think its ready for 
that yet.
