Re: PsqlODBC with a SSL connection

Did this work?  How exactly?  Could someone please post the entries in
.odbc.ini that accomplish this?  I have not been able to puzzle it out.  I
am using unixODBC under Linux.  Under Windows it is controlled with a
drop-down in the GUI but under Linux I just edit .odbc.ini.  Thanks.
