Description:

I have tried using the psqlODBC driver with Excel but it does not work as
expected.


In comparison the below driver from Openlink does a good job.

It would be great to have the same functionality in the native driver.


Excel does not seem to respond with any data - but does give an idea that it
has made some sort of a connection with the database. SQL commands fail from
being executed.
