I can see that iWay lists PostgreSQL among its adapters, but it's not a link, while most other databases do have a link. See: http://www.informationbuilders...webfocus/data_access

What's the status of that adapter?

Does anyone use this (IMHO fantastic) open source database with WebFOCUS?

Have you checked to see if it is in the list of SQL adapters in your WebFOCUs server or Developer Studio ?

Its in mine, and I'm on 7.6.6 DS

It is listed, I just wonder how well it's supported? For example, I notice there's no mention of HOLD FORMAT POSTGRESQL or something similar in the Help files.

From the little bits of relevant-looking documentation I can find PG would appear to be less well supported than for example DB2, MSSQL or Oracle. Technically, PG could be supported just as well (those are its direct competitors).

For a laugh, I tried:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS PGCAR FORMAT POSTGRESQL
END


And got:
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 10 LINES= 10
0 PS FILE SAVED ...

ROFL, that's not what I asked for!
