Re: Creating an application that supports postgresql-odbc

Thank you Adrian,

I will be looking further into this and trying everything I can
think of. I will let you know if I can work this out or if I cannot.

Out of my area of expertise but this looks promising:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/

mm/

This directory contains the driver and supporting dlls (but not the
documentation) in a Windows Installer Merge Module for inclusion in third
party installers.

Also in the source download there is a winbuild directory, in which is
contained a readme.txt that explains how to build on Windows. There are
caveats about using VS 2010 though.
