Hello all,
I posted the following also to pgsql-interfaces/general, but got no
workable solution (yet).
The ODBC client-application I'm developping will be able to run on Mac
and WIN/NT, uses booleans itself and has to be able to be a frontend for
a range of SQL-databases.
Thanks,
Jelle

Hello all,
I'm trying to connect from a ODBC-client to PostgreSQL on a Linux-server.
All is going well, except that the ODBC-client seems not to recognize the
PostgreSQL boolean-datatype.
Is this really caused by PostgreSQL? If yes: is there a workaround, like
altering the datatypename 'bool' in the proper places (pg_type?)? If no:
then it is another problem and can somebody give a hint?
Thanks,
Jelle.
I tested and encountered it in the following testsituations:
Situation 1:
Client: Mac via OpenLink ODBC-Client
Server: Linux RH 6.0 via OpenLink Requestbroker
Result: it looks like PostgreSQL-boolean is converted to SQL_C_CHAR, the
datatype itself is called 'bool'
Situation 2:
Client: NT with psqlODBC
Server: same Linux
Result: in MS-Query:
- viewing the table-definitions, it comes with the message that it
doesn't recognize datatype 'bool'
- selecting values it looks like PostgreSQL-boolean is converted to a
numeric
PostgreSQL: 6.5.1
