Hi,

I can connect via ODBC over TCP/IP to my postgresql database and I connect
WITHOUT ODBC over a Unix Domain socket to this database, but how can I
connect via ODBC over a Unix Domain socket to the database? It doesn't matter
what filename I specify with the SOCKET-Option. The connection is always made
but as soon as I exec a query I get this error message:

SQLAllocStmt: ErrorSQL error state code: 08003
[iODBC][Driver Manager]Connect not open

I think I specified the wrong ODBC Options. To connect via TCP/IP I use these
options:

DRIVER=/usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so.1
SERVER=localhost
PORT=5432
UID=xxxxxxxxx
PWD=xxxxxxxxx
DATABASE=test
ReadOnly=0

This is working fine. Now I tried to just remove the SERVER and PORT Options
to make a socket connection and I tried to specifiy this additional option:

SOCKET=/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432

But both tries failed with the above error message. I also wonder why the
SQLDriverConnect() isn't showing any errors. But SQLAllocStmt() says there is
no connect. The same code used with a mysql database (over unix-domain socket
specified with the SOCKET option) works fine.

Any hints? Please answer directly to my mail address, I am not subscribed to
the list.
