But =E2=80=98pg-print=E2=80=99 safety is nice, t= oo. thi README excerpt: Guile-PG is a collection of modules for Guile allowing access to the PostgreSQL RDBMS from Scheme programs. The low-level module =E2=80=98(database postgres)=E2=80=99 provides an al= most one-to-one correspondence with the PostgreSQL "libpq" C library interface. Other higher-level modules, typically named =E2=80=98(database postgres-FOO)=E2=80=99, provide abstractions and conve= nience procedures. This is alpha code (pre 1.0 release), tested with various, but not all, versions of Guile and PostgreSQL. It may have bugs, and the interfaces may change from version to version. NEWS excerpt: - 0.42 | 2011-10-04 - bugfix: "make check" no longer clobbers installed file For Guile versions that require a Scheme wrapper for .so loading (i.e., Guile 1.8 and later), "make check" does a fake install w/ a =E2=80=98prefix=E2=80=99 in the build tree. Unfortunately, in Gu= ile-PG 0.41, that dir was not specified to the Scheme wrapper, resulting in its installation under the "real" (as determined / set by the configure script) =E2=80=98prefix=E2=80=99. The system would reamin in this inconsistent state, with the wrapper pointing into the build tree, until "make install", at which point everything was resynchronized. Obviously, if you never do "make install", the problem persists (silently, until the build tree is deleted). This has now been fixed. If you did a "make check" but NOT "make install" of Guile-PG 0.41, the best way forward is to configure Guile-PG 0.42 and then "make install; make uninstall". - =E2=80=98pg-print=E2=80=99 now does =E2=80=98fflush=E2=80=99 after ea= ch operation This probably kills performance, but it is safer, given Guile's direct use of =E2=80=98write(2)=E2=80=99 et al. - =E2=80=98pg-set-client-encoding!=E2=80=99 also accepts symbolic encod= ing tarball and its detached signature in dir: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/guile-pg/ homepage: http://www.nongnu.org/guile-pg/
