Re: IIS Postgres ASP ADO - Problem

Excellent, Glad that worked.
I wrote a .net app to move from sqlserver to postgres (uses npgsql
components rather then odbc).
I also saw in the archive mention of dumping to deliminited data and reading
it directly into a database.

Best of luck.

Subject: Re: [ODBC] IIS Postgres ASP ADO - Problem

It's working now.

I went into regedit and removed everything about postgres under ODBC
and ODBCINST. Then re-installed the driver. The driver I had before was
from 8.0.3. I had tried intalling the ODBC driver before but this did
nothing.
I also opened up the Postres registery setting to 'everyone'

When I get more time I'll look into which change solved the problem.
Right now I'm happy that I will be able to use Postgres. Once the data
is moved from mdb files to Postgres, we'll start to move to Linux and PHP!

Thanks for all the help.
