Hi to All,

Maybe a stupid question ; but using postgresql odbc client on Win OS computer I
don't know how to do the same thing on a MAC OS client.
QUESTIONS :
How to connect postgresql server (running under Linux) from MAC OS via ODBC ?
If possible free solutions are available ?

Many thanks.
Emmanuel
