Folks,
Sorry, you lost me -- what are server-side drivers?
Oh, good ... I ended up sending Josh an email offlist asking this, cause I
figured I was missing something ... but now I feel vindicated(?) knowing
I'm not the only one confused by this one :)
Drivers that get used on the server at least some of the time, like libpqxx
and JDBC, as opposed to drivers which are strictly client-only, like pgODBC.
JDBC gets used on the server? Where? Same with libpqxx ... where is that used on the server side?
The app server is where it would be used. The app server may also be the database server but in all if you look at it from the paradigm of PostgreSQL is the server, there is no server side driver. Only client side. Where the app server is the client.
Confusing enough?
