PAH problem --> building cache

[jekki]

Hi everybody,
my OS is WinXP pro, and unfortunately i had to reinstall it.
After that i reinstalled the poker tools as well: postgres (v. 8.3.5) + PT 2 (v. 2.17.03d)+ PAH (v. 1.19.10 ß)
Seemingly everything works fine (i.e. on the table displayed what needed etc.) BUT,if i try to make the PAH-cache i get this message:

What is the problem?

Thank in advance.

Best regards!

PAHud does not fully support postgres 8.3.5 and the cache will not work.
You currently have two options:
1. Revert back to PostgreSQL 8.2.9 (latest 8.2.x version) which is supported
2. Temporarily disable your database cache until we are able to get 8.3.x supported. Options->Preferences->Databases, uncheck 'Use Database Cache'.

Thank you for your answer.

1. Does "revert back" mean, that i have to fully deinstall v.8.3.5 and install v. 8.2.9 or can i install simply v.8.2.9 now?
2. How long do you think it takes PAH would work with v. 8.3.5?

thx & greetz

If your database is 8.3 then you will need to back it up and then restore it into 8.3 (using PT2), but you do not need to uninstall 8.3.
I wouldn't expect the PAH cache to support 8.3 any time soon - now that PT3 is out I don't expect any major new functionality changes in PAH.

I see...
Still another question:

You have talked about "PostgreSQL 8.2.9 (latest 8.2.x version) which is supported", but there is a later release v. 8.2.13.
May i install this version or PAH supports v.8.2.9 only?

thx

8.2.9 was the latest at the time that was originally written - I should update my info.
TBH I don't know whether 8.2.13 will work, but I would assume so since the major version hasn't changed. I will try to find out whether this has been tested.

[WhiteRider]

According to the development team any 8.2 version should be OK.
Please let us know if you have any problems with it.

First of all: i got it (PAH works with Postgres v. 8.2.13), but the price was not low...

I don't know where i made the mistake :oops: , perhaps it is good to tell now the community, what i made...., so
1. i had postgres v. 8.3.5 and PAH couldn't make any cache (because of incompatibility)
2. i made a backup from 8.3 DBs for the future (earlier i had backups from 8.2 DBs already)
3. i deleted (dropped) the DBs in 8.3 via PGadmin, because i thought if not, and i install 8.2, how PT2 can make a difference at restore which DB is which
3. i install 8.2 with a different port# and username than 8.3 had
4. i made the new DB settings in PT2 ....

and then were coming the probs: the main problem was, that i couldn't remove the old DB settings in PT2. They always came back if i wanted to restore. In tried everything but nada... :evil:

So after that, i deinstall everything, and from the very beginning i install again: PT2, postgres v. 8.2.13 ---->> and PAH makes cache now... :)

best whishes
