When you also experience this problem, I urge you to vote for this problem
(you will need a ms passport).

Hi community!

Here is my problem:

* Postgresql 8.1 installed on windows XP (machine 1) with DB up and
running. I can access/change/see all my tables, etc with EMS Postgresql
manager
* On Machine 2 (windows XP) I've installed the pg ODBC drivers 8.01.01
and created a System DSN to machine 1
* I tested this DSN with MS Access, and I could see my tables, add
items, launch queries
* Now, I need to use Visual Studio 2005 (with .Net 2.0) for our pr
oject and would like to be able to create XSD files visually (using the
VS2005 built-in tools). In VS2005 Server Explorer, I created a new Database
Connection, using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source (ODBC) with the .Net ODBC
Data Provider selected. Pointed the thing to my working ODBC DSN and tested
the connection
* Connection works (says VS2005)
* Now I have a new Data Connection in the Server Explorer, with 3 tree
entries; Tables, Views, Procedures. My problem is that "Tables" is empty,
"Views" is empty but "Procedures" contains hundreds of postgres functions.
* I would like to see my tables and views!

Remark:

* I tried OLEDB, whitout success either. VS2005 says that there where
"some" errors and that "no work could be done"... cool he?!

Can someone please help me, as I've lost already 2 days figuring out what is
going wrong here. I google nearly every forum about that..

Thanks in advance,
