Hi,

Has the PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI) been renamed recently?

Several times in the last 12 months I've installed the latest version of PostgreSQL on clean versions of Windows.

After each install the windows ODBC Administrator (64 bit) tells me I've got this version.....
Name PostgreSQL UNICODE(x64)
Version 13.00.00.00
Company PostgeSQL Global Development Group,
File PSQLODBC30A.DLL
Date 19/Nov/2020

I've just downloaded and installed the very latest version of PostgreSQL (14.2) on another clean windows server. This time the ODBC administrator says I have this version.....
Name PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE)
Version 13.00.00.00
Company PostgeSQL Global Development Group,
File PSQLODBC30A.DLL
Date 11/Nov/2021

The published version number, filename and company name all remain the same. However the date is more recent, and the name of the driver is different.

Please help me with the following questions -

* Are these two drivers identical?
* If the answer is 'yes' then why has the name and date changed?
* If the answer is 'no' why has the version number not changed?
* Is the new driver the 64bit version (or the 32 bit version - it's no longer mentioned in the name)

Thank you

Mike
