Обсуждение: basic access problem on W2K
Hi there! I installed PGSQL downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pgsql/ I can start the server, enter command line, create and drop databases and tables. However, I CANNOT ACCESS PGSQL from any other application (BC++ Builder, MS Access, ISO PGSQL,...). I specified port 5423 as the database port. For now, I am fine with running tha database as localhost, but I would prefer to have it accessible from the network. Can somebody help ? How do I get access to PGSQL from any other software ? Thanks! Greg

How do I get access to PGSQL from any other software ? It sounds like you need to install the PostgreSQL ODBC drivers, and setup some data sources: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php Hope that helps. :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > Thanks! > Greg -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

It won't accept TCP/IP connections without that. --Ray. ------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell http://www.galwaycathedral.org/recitals rod@iol.ie Galway Cathedral Recitals -------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, I saw too late that you'd trimed the original posters email from the headers so it's only gone to you and the list. The accepted practice is to reply to individuals and the list that way timely delivery is more likely. Nigel Andrews
