Hello --
How to set up PostgreSQL ODBC provider so I can access PostgreSQL database
on a LAN? I use ODBC3.0 driver from GBorg (psqlodbc.dll) on WinME and
PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on Mandrake 9.1. So far I tried setting up
File DSN and get rintime error: "Object or provider is not capable of
performing requested operation".  (log provided below)I
specified server IP address, database name, user and password in the
provider entry
(through Control Panel) and then used TADOConnection to connect to ODBC
provider. The error comes up when I set Connected property of the connection
object to True.
I do not want to use VitaVoom SQL connection driver as the free (demo)
version requires running Delphi.
Thanks,

Mikhail.
