Hi,
as ORACLE does not support ODBC on Linux x86 - 64 bit
(ERROR [A07A] 'GENERIC_ODBC_FOR_HS' driver is not licensed)
a possible WORKAROUND IS TO COMPILE the postgreSQL ODBC AS 32 BIT VERSION (In Oracle 10g the hsodbc part is 32bits only
).
PLEASE PROVIDE A 32 BIT OPTION IN THE configure SCRIPT IN FUTURE VERSIONS OF unixODBC.
Thank you and have a great day,
Elvira
=======================================================================
This is what we have done manually.
=======================================================================
1) Prepare Flags for compilation
File libtool: change entry "-shared" to "-shared -m32"; two occurences
=======================================================================
2) Set Flags & configure
CFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
make
make install
=======================================================================

Connect from ORACLE 10.1.0.3 to PostgreSQL 8.00.0102, 32bit WORKAROUND
