Marcus,

I am sorry I have not had the time yet to try the CVS copy. It does
indeed look like my bug report is a duplicate though, and that the fix
will correct the code.

I, however, have another report :-( ... Most of my database fields are
reporting a postgresql type as PG_TYPE_NUMERIC, which is decimal 1700.
In _translate_postgresql_type ... PG_TYPE_NUMERIC is never addressed. In
fact, the PG_TYPE_FLOAT4 type, I cannot get postgresql to produce.
Anything I seem to type in for a field type of decimal or numeric,
always produces PG_TYPE_NUMERIC.

For the fun of it, I added case PG_TYPE_NUMERIC right above the
PG_TYPE_FLOAT4 and all worked, however, again, I am not sure if that's
the correct fix. I see the DBI_DECIMAL_SIZE4 and am not totally sure
what that is.

I will be trying the CVS copy of libdbi real soon. Thanks!

Jeremy
