Re: pgadmin

What you have to do is:

For every database you have in PostgreSQL you have to:

1.- Select ODBC Data Sources in the Control Panel
2.- Select the User DSN tab
3.- Click on 'Add...'
4.- Choose the ODBC Driver corresponding to PostgreSQL and click on
'Finish'.
5.- A Setup window will appear with the following:
Data Source: Type the name you will identify your driver
with (could be the name of your database)
Description: (Optional) Anything that will make you remember
what the database or connection is
Database: Type your database's name (where you are going to
connect).
Server: Type your server name (where Postgres is installed)
Port: If you use default values, leave 5432 as is,
otherwiase type the Postgres Port you are using.
Username: Type the name you will use to make the connection
Password: Type the user's password
NOTE 1: Remember, in order for this to work you have to have
a Postgres username and password (since you need a user for unix, I
would suggest, for security reasons, that you take advantage of this
feature).
NOTE 2: You have to modify your pg_hba.conf file so the
connection privilege is 'password' (no quotes).

I haven't been able to make it work with 'crypt'. I don't
know if it's a bug or if it's meant to be that way or if it's just me
(maybe someone from the ODBC area could help us out here)

6.- In the Options (Advanced) section (still in the Setup window) click
on 'DataSources'
6.1.- A new window will appear. Make sure that the only boxes
checked are Show Columns and Fake Index in the OID Options Section.

If I didn't forget anything, this should work.

Hope this helps. (If you have any question don't hesitate to ask).
