Re: MS ODBC drivers?

david-

i'm not sure if this answers your questions, but:

(from doc/FAQ)-
-----

2.1) Are there ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL?

There are two ODBC drivers available, PsqlODBC and OpenLink ODBC.

PsqlODBC is included in the distribution. More information about it
can be gotten from ftp://ftp.PostgreSQL.org/pub/odbc/.

OpenLink ODBC can be gotten from http://www.openlinksw.com. It works
with their standard ODBC client software so you'll have PostgreSQL
ODBC available on every client platform they support (Win, Mac, Unix,
VMS).

They will probably be selling this product to people who need
commercial-quality support, but a freeware version will always be
available. Please send questions to postgres95(at)openlink(dot)co(dot)uk(dot)

See also the ODBC chapter of the Programmer's Guide.

hope that helps!
