I've spent the couple of weeks over Xmas finally learning postgres and
constructing databases, but......
I'm one of those cretins who can only learn from concrete examples, and have
been struggling to try and connect to a postgres database, save, retrieve and
change data, and despite the apparent wealth of material on the web, have
failed miserably.
Stumbling across this in the wiki (where of course I should have looked
first!), I downloaded the files, compiled pyscopg version 2.0b6-1 from
http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/ and went to run the code.
There seems to be a syntax error at this line in addperson.py (approx line 71)
boxb.Add((50,10),0) ##fixed this was (50,10,0).
Otherwise the demo seems to run fine with the substitution in utilities.py (if
you are using version 2 of psycopg) of:
from psycopg2 import psycopg1 as psycopg, instead of
#import psycopg
So fantastic to have a fully functioning program as a demonstration.
I don't suppose anyone would have a fully functioning demo of a program using
stored queries in postgres to retrieve datasets?, or if some kind soul who
understands this would be happy to field some emails from me privately soas
not to clog up the list.
Regards and thanks again.
