Hello,
I have an old code I inherited that currently uses PV-Wave to generate
gifs for meterology. The data that is used is stored the old way in
binary files. We are wanting to move this data into a postgresql database
and access that database from pv-wave to generate the images.
I understand that pv-wave's Linux db_connection toolkit only works for Oracle
and sybase. Is there another connection mechanism that can be used to get
pv-wave to connect to a postgresql database?
Are there any examples out there? I can google and find this question from
in the years 2006 - 2008, but I can't find any answers or examples of how to do
this.
Yes, I am a both a database and wave novice.
Thank you in advance for any help and guidance.
Marsha Boggs

I don't know anything about pv-wave but I have used pg_idl[1] to pull
data from a postgresql database into IDL.
