Re: ODBC problem

Hi,

last week, I had similar problems. First I couldn't get jdbc running
correctly with staroffice (I haven't found anybody who could), then I
didn't manage to connect anyhow with iodbc and then I had problems with
the postgres odbc driver in and unix-odbc.

But at the end (after two days), taking the unix-odbc driver included
with unix-odbc, I got a stable connection :-) to my pg7.2 server. And
even staroffice worked with it together.

odbc.ini:
[Emep]
Description = Test to Postgres
Driver = PostgreSQL

TraceFile = /tmp/sql.log

ShowSystemTables = No
