Обсуждение: I cant' configure ODBC

I had to put in my regular Windows login name and password before it would work for me.

it gives me an error: "ODBC--call failed"

That is my configuration:

    Database: template1

    Server: localhost

    Port: 5432

    User Name: TBlum (is the name that returns the command whoami)

    Password: (none)

   

Any idea ?

Thanks

The "Server Name" needs to be set to "localhost"

Subject: [ODBC] I cant' configure ODBC

Hi, i'm new in postgresql and i'm trying to configure the ODBC driver to access postgresql from Access and StarOffice.

I downloaded an ODBC driver from internet and when i try to connect postgresql it ask me for a servername and i have installed it with CygWin in the same computer i try to access.

 

I read a chapter about ODBC in postgresql documentation, but there are some files i don't have in my installation.

 

Can anyone explain me how to install and configure ODBC ?

 

Thanks

Tamara.

 

That is my configuration:
Database: template1

Database template1 doesn't seem to be a good idea.
Create a database and use that one.
Which Version of PostgreSQL are you using? 7.0X I guess.

regards

On the linux platform you have to set a config file to allow
certain hosts to connect to Postgres.

Something about...

127.0.0.1/32 trust

    Could there be a case issue? Try creating a lowercase only name and
seeing if you can connect via that.
    Maybe try adding this line to the pg_hba.conf:

seeing if you can connect via that.
    Maybe try adding this line to the pg_hba.conf:
    host     all     0.0.0.0     0.0.0.0     trust
This'll grant everywhere trust login (no password, just username), so it
should test if your pg_hba.conf file is the problem.
