I'm Thick. What is this file? It doesn't seem come with psqlodbc and
there is no mention of it in the doc on the GBORG site about compiling
the driver. I was changing to the extracted dir & trying nmake.....

I know that the driver is doing it as it supposed to. It's paradox/BDE
that can't cope with the schema stuff.

I wish I could. Open source is a great invention. If its broken try and
fix it yourself.

I can fix it in code but this would break the compatibility of using
either the paradox tables or postgres tables. I would have to have two
different versions of each form etc & record many lines of code to say
"If in postgres add a public. to every table name" which is a huge pest
& I don't want to have two version of each form to try & keep in sync
with each other.

If I get it working, I may update the ODBC driver form to have a couple
of tick boxes to make this an option in the driver and send you the
changes made.
