[GENERAL] Why PGSQL has no developments in the .NET area?

2011-10-01 Thread Rohit Coder

PgSQL has just one old NPGSQL driver for .NET, which is itself sluggish. The 
ODBC driver works better as compared to NPGSQL, but I suspect the ODBC driver 
is not the right choice for ORM framework of .NET.

I want to know whether there is any efficient .NET provider and is PGSQL 
compatible with the .NET entity framework.

Regards,
Rohit.

Hi,


Sorry for the delay.



I used Npgsql 2.0 last and it was slow when querying database to populate 
DataGridView or DropDownLists in Windows Forms application. To verify, I 
removed Npgsql and installed pgsql's ODBC driver. It worked very fast. 


In another case, when the user brings focus on any DropDownList, the list fills 
with filtered records. This filling was slow when compared to the ODBC driver.


I checked Npgsql latest release on this page of PgFoundry. When you all are 
saying that Npgsql's last release was 9, I suspect whether I am looking the 
latest release on a correct website or not.


Regards,
Rohit Khare.

The Ngpsql driver isn't old.  They've released updates to it all through 
version 8 and 9 so far as I know.  We do some .Net work against Postgres and it 
seems to work for what we're doing.




Indeed, the latest release seems to be less than a month old.  It does seem 
the project could release news items more frequently though. ;-)

Yeah, I agree with you. Sorry for that. 
On the good side, we released a new beta last week. :)
