Can't connect to postgres in 3.2-186+

Open borkokrz opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

It is working fine in 3.2-186. In 3.2-275 and 3.2-283 the connection to postgres cannot be established. Libraries are correctly configured and the popup appears when trying to connect:

Unable to connect to the database Driver not loaded.

I'm having issues also - it's not clear to me how to load Postgres, so I'm assuming it's supposed to "just work".

I tried on a fresh install of the latest release, and got a popup:

"Unable to connect to the database. authentication method 10 not supported"

[should be "Authentication method 10 not supported." Period and A]

It looks like this requires an update to the .msi file, method 10 is quite old!

Also

The docs say nothing about postgres, and the README.md says

In addition, TOra also supports postgres and mysql if your Qt library is compiled with that support.

Note that on Windows it's a .MSI download. I would have assumed whoever is making the .msi file also compiled it with Postgres support, and a somewhat newish version of it.

I've used TORA for more than a decade, my currently client is on Postgres, was really hoping to use that and MySQL.

Ah - not in the docs, but I found a "Paths" setup in the Global Settings. Something is wrong, as if I find the libpq.dll it says: image

Sounds like maybe the TORa compile is too old to work?
