1. Install the posDrv.exe (you've done that)
2. in Settings/Control panel/32 bits ODBC click on ADD to create a new
datasource
2.1 choose PostgreSql as the driver click finish
2.2 a new window appears fill i
Datasource: The name you will be presented with when you'll want to use
thais datasourrce
Database/server/username are quite obvious.
(NOTE Make sure that your station is allowed to connect under that
username to PostgreSql (there is a file in the directory where
postgresql stored it's data that you MUST adjust in order to be allowed
to connect to PG. Beware that this file is read-only,m you must Chmod +
to it. )
Click on Options(Advanced) for the datasource and unchecked the
read-only.
this should be it.
