To all developers using FM7 under Mac OS X,

We are developing a new plug-in allowing direct access (thru libpg and not
ODBC) to PostgreSQL 7.4.x databases from FileMakerPro 7 and are looking for
early beta testers to get feedback on usability and requirements in various
situations like connecting to non-Mac OS servers running the PostgreSQL
backend.


Currently implemented functions are:

Connect( host; database; user; password ; options )
Disconnect( connection )
Execute( connection; query )
GetRow( result; rowIndex; fieldSeparator )
ServerMessage( connection )
NTuples( result )
NFields( result )
GetRowField( result; row; field )
FreeResult( result )
SetTrace( connection; filePathName ; appendMode )
Untrace( connection )
InsertBinaryFromFile( connection; filePathName )
ErrorMessage( status )
Status( connection )
EscapeSQLString( queryString )
QuoteString( string )
DoubleQuoteString( string )

The plugin and a sample FMPro7 file can be downloaded at
http://www.macosxguru.net/downloads/p3fmpg.tar.gz

Basic documentation is in the FMPro7 file.

Developers actively participating will be entitled to a free version of the
final plug-in for development.
