Re: ODBC + pgsql on win32

I don't claim to be an export in this area, but here is how I am doing things:

ADO connection snipit:

Set oTargetConn = New ADODB.Connection
oTargetConn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={PostgreSQL};" _
& "SERVER=" & Me.txtHost & ";" _
& "UID=" & Me.txtLogin & ";" _
& "PWD=" & Me.txtPassword & ";" _
& "PORT=" & Me.txtPort & ";" _
& "Database=" & Me.txtDatabase & ";"

I specifically tried to avoid using a defined ODBC definition. Also I am
not using bound controls in my application so I don't do anything with the
built in vb data objects.

Enthusiastically,

Dave Leedom
