Re: ODBC Support

Jeff, Tom,

Thank you for your responses. Perhaps I need to clarify.

I'm trying to run a windoze front-end application (which I didn't
write) against a PostgreSQL back-end. So I presume it's the Windoze ODBC
drivers I need (I have these, although it would seem that there are
several varieties available - is there a list around anywhere?).

I have been having all sorts of issues with getting the beast to work,
which I was hoping this procedure would fix.

Do I understand it that the extra config. option simply provides ODBC
client drivers on the *nix platform? If so, then I don't think I need
them because I'm not connecting from the *nix box (is that correct?)

The odbc.sql file - since I didn't write the app, it is quite possible
that it uses odbc functions which are considered "standard" without my
knowledge. I'd certainly like to rule this out as the cause of my
problems. Where can I get hold of this file? I need Postgres to behave
in as standard an odbc way as possible.

Thanks again,

Paul Simpson
