Hello,

Please forgive me for a newbie question!

I have just installed and are running PostgreSQL 6.3.2 fine including
psql on Linux 2.0.33.

I need to get access to it from several Windows 95 worstations using ODBC.
I have a C++ program that are using ODBC/SQL... calls, which works fine on
Linux using Sergey's pgodbc interface. The C++ program is written using a
cross platform GUI library called wxWindows. This program is already running
under Windows 95 without the ODBC interface, I just need to hook it up to
my PostgreSQL database.

Could someone please give me a step-by-step idea of how to get ODBC
running on Win95 and whatever tools/programs is needed for that?

I also have a PostgreSQL question: I have had the need for changing
the attribute of a column, e.g. int2 -> int4 or char(10) -> char(20).
psql doesn't seem to report how to do it, and whatever I tried failed.
Is it at all possible? I have been working quite a lot with the very old
Informix database, and here it is a simple matter for 'isql'.

Thanks in advance,
