I have a client who wants to use Delphi as a front end to a Database, I
would like to use PostgreSQL over MSSQL and have been looking at the
psqlodbc project. Will psqlodbc connect with Delphi 6? Basically, I'm
wondering if anyone has experience with it? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
J

So you installed psqlodbc 8 on the client machine with Delphi installed,
correct? What problems did you have with cursors? Any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi J!
We use here vitavoom from Steve Howe (www.vitavoom.com). It's a very
good and native alternative.
It's paid but not expensive and you will have a very good and qualified
technical supporte.

Hi Adrian,
You're right. What we did was include one "refresh" button and inserted
one configuration that after x seconds the component refresh the screen
(query).
If you find a better solution, please inform me.

Rodrigo

Hi Adrian!
Yes, the user have to wait until the refresh finishes... That's a
problem but we didn't found any other solution...

we are using postgresql8 +psqlodbc8+ delphi7 ... the only problem is the
server side cursor = doesn't work properly ... so we are using client side
for datasets .... :)

Yes, the client must have the psqlodbc driver and mdac at least 2.6.
(Mdac2.5 is verry buggy - attention win2000 and win9x must be upgraded if
you need mdac for your app).
When using server side cursors for a dataset the update and delete
functions act 'strange' as not refreshing corect the affected rows or by
showing ony ane record for 20 times instead of 20 different records ...
(this test was done with psqlodbc8.0 - postgresql DB 8.0 - I think my
colegs didn't test it with 8.1 yet !! ).
So we are using client side cursors - slower then server side cursors,
but we are satified with the results (we are developing a big ERP app for
two years - it also works over internet on 2-3 clients with relative slow
net connections : 56-128 Kb/s).

We tested also (pgExpress Driver) - is faster then psqlodbc but we have a
problem with it:
it does requery (or refresh? - I don't remember exactly) after every post
in database.(for us this is a problem - if you have more then 10.000 in
current dataset loaded when you add a new record and post-it you stay 1
min !? ) - for curiosity how do you deal with this posible problem ?

So:
When the user push the 'post' button the driver automatically refresh the
current dataset and the user have to wait many seconds (or min?!) until
it's finish. ok?
How did you say you avoided this ?

I am a bit late posting, I use Zeos DBO controls, they can be found on
sourceforge..
I actually use the V5 of the components with some bug fixes I done
myself, but my project is too far along to change to the newer components..
They are free and all source provided.. :)
