On the Postgres website, the "HOW-TO" page under "info central" takes you to "sunsite.unc.edu" which has greatly outdated information on it about the ODBC drivers for Postgres. In case you didn't know, we are constantly receiving problem reports from people using one of these old odbc drivers when in fact they are out-of-date and not being supported by anyone. We have to go through the same stuff every time only to find out that the trouble was the old PostODBC driver. The ancient ODBC Drivers listed on this site are : stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9025461 www.MageNet.com/postodbc/DOC Is there anyway to correct this information and put the "Insight" (http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc) link on there? For that matter, is there anyway to point people who go to MageNet to the right address, like a forward page? This is important because Web search engines (yahoo, alta-vista) will still send you to MageNet if you search on odbc and postgres. I wonder how many people go try the MageNet odbc driver and just give up and try another dbms without even sending any mail to the lists? Could someone please respond, agree or disagree, so I know I am not talking to myself? Byron
