> the frontend we are trying to use is a well known and spread laboratory system. our consultant has experience with
otherdatabases (oracle, sql) that are a lot bigger - with no problems. however i'm wondering that postgres is not
workingwith the lab system AND other common DB frontends using ODBC. i guess there is no setting for: "use cursor
instead"?
"Use Declare/Fetch" may be the setting that you want. That's a setting in the ODBC driver and you should be able to
changethat setting through the Windows ODBC Administrator.
You may also want to change the "Server side prepare" setting. (Be sure to change one setting at a time and test your
applicationbetween changes).
