Should I just post them here and some magical person will fix them? For instance, the "CREATE TRIGGER" manpage contains the sentence: The trigger will be associated with the relation relname and will execute the specified function funcname. however, that does not match the declared syntax. "relation relname" should be "table <i>table</i>". The PostgreSQL ODBC FAQ contains several problems in the following sections: General #3: The URL is wrong. It should be ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/index.html instead. Advanced #1: The answer contains the sentence, "The hassle is that every time you run the query in Access 97 it prompts you with a database connection dialog." This is wrong. Posters to the FAQ should read the FAQ, as "Microsoft Products #4" has an easy solution (this problem affects all SQL-pass through queries regardles of the RDMS used). Advanced #2: The answer is missing something. "Recoginze Unique Indexes" must also be switched on in the Advanced Driver Options for primary keys to be detected automatically. Advanced #5: The answer contains the sentence, "This will probably not be necessary in Postgres 6.4 since it will be added." Apparently it has not been added, as I just experienced it in 7.0.2.

Where are you finding it? ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/index.html is the base of the ODBC documentation. ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/psqlodbc_faq.html is the actual FAQ. > - Thomas Tom ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread
