Re: Need help to choose which ODBC driver to use

I think so. I only has one Postgresql server.

The other application I use to test the login is to create a new Access
2003 link table and I create a new ODBC connection and put in the same
information as I did on the SQL server. It works.

The different most likely is the the ODBC drive version installed on the
desktop is different from the one I am trying to install on the SQL server.
The desktop is 32bit Windows 7 and I installed the ODBC probably two years
ago. I do not remember the version I installed, probably related to 9.4.
The bin is in a ProgramFiles\psqlODBC\0900 folder.

For the SQL server, I am get the driver from here:
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/psqlodbc_09_06_0310-x64.zip

Thanks,

Pang
