I have Postgres 7 installed on solaris 2.6, using unixODBC (including the driver
and driver manager that comes with unixODBC for Postgres) to make ODBC calls
into Postgres.

I am now interested in the possibility of being able to make queries to Postgres
via Excel and ODBC on NT to generate reports.

Does anybody know how or what I would need to achieve this?

Thanks

Carl

I haven't done exactly what you are asking about, but...

You will need the client-side ODBC setup on your NT box. None of the
things labeled "ODBC" are relevant for the server-side machine, since
once the data is on the wire you are talking directly with the server.

So get the Win ODBC .dll package (I think it is on the Postgres ftp
site, and *should* be mentioned somewhere on the web site), install it,
configure it, and start running. The Postgres docs have some info on
these steps.

Good luck.
