Help with postgres...

[Jason Patrick Agujo]

im trying to learn a different database connection aside from MySQL. a friend suggested that i use "postgres" im not sure if there is a compatibility issue (like the one with MySQL with rails 2.2) but i get an error when i try to start the ruby server (ruby script/server).

steps taken:
installed ruby (1.8.6)
updated gems (1.3.5)
installed rails (2.3.4)
installed postgreSQL
installed gem ruby-postgres (0.7.1.2006.04.06)
created the generic code
performed "ruby script/server" just to see if any error comes up

got a succession of errors of missing dll (libpq & msvcr70) i was able to download it from the net but now im getting the error of "the procedure entry point PQescapeBytea could not be located in the dynamic link library libpq.dll"

please help me out and thank you for your time and consideration

Instead of downloading, you can copy the DLL's from your PostgreSQL
install directory to your Ruby's bin directory instead.

Looks like a wrong dll version. Look libpql.dll in your postgres
installation directory. Then include the directory where you found it
in your PATH.

seems you tried to use an outdated postgre client dll
