Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archive-Number: 200101/163 X-Sequence-Number: 779 I need to test ODBC access to PostgreSQL from Windows clients. Since the latest binary distribution (postdrv.exe version 6.50.0) seems to be password protected, and nobody seems to know the password, I downloaded the source. Everything compiled fine in Visual C++ 6.0, and I now have a psglodbc.dll file. What do I do with it? The PSQLODBC FAQ (at http://404627944:81/post_down/odbc/psqlodbc_faq.html) says to copy the file into c:\windows\system, but this is apparently insufficient, as the driver doesn't show up in the drivers list under the ODBC Data Sources section of Control Panel. Has anyone here installed this driver from source? How do you do it? How do we go about getting these instructions into the documentation? Thank you very much in advance. Sincerely, -David Zoll, Programmer NYSCUL PS: If anyone has the password to actually run postdrv.exe, that would be very much appreciated as well.
