[Gambas-user] gb.db local change

I need a bit of help here. In our local version of the interpreter I 
want to implement a "small" change to use the "RETURNING *" optional SQL 
command. This works fine for postgresql but not for sqlite (at this 
stage of debian's distros). I understand (I'm pretty sure) the object 
model but I can't write the C code.

Within the following patch I want to test the "THIS->conn->" database 
type and only include the RETURNING clause if its a PostgreSQL database 
we are talking to.

+++ b/main/lib/db/CResult.c

@@ -716,7 +716,7 @@ BEGIN_METHOD_VOID(Result_Update)

  			}

  

  			q_add(" )");

+			q_add(" RETURNING * ");              <----- but only if PostgreSQL


  			if (!THIS->driver->Exec(&THIS->conn->db, q_get(), NULL, "Cannot create record: &1"))

  				void_buffer(THIS);

This is a LOCAL change as the RETURNING clause is not universally 
supported. In fact I'm not sure if it is conformant to the SQL standard, 
but we really need it here.

I have had many tries at working this out but have had no success.

Can anyone help me here, please.
