Обсуждение: Trouble creating a DSN-file

Hi,

I'm having trouble creating a DSN-file in the ODBC manager in windows. I
have installed psqlodbc-07_02_0005 on my Windows, and when I add a DSN and
choose a Postgres driver, the detailed dialog asks for Database, Server,
User, Password and so on. When I fill in the data, and try to save, nothing
is saved to the actual file, other than the DRIVER-parameter. I need the
DSN-file for another program. What am I doing wrong?

Kelvin :-)

Hi Kelvin,

I can confirm that creating file DSNs doesn't seem to work at the moment
- however you should still be able to use them if you manually create
one. For example:

[ODBC]
DRIVER=PostgreSQL
Database=DatabaseName
Server=ServerName
Port=5432
UID=Username
PWD=Password

Hi,

Is there a way to test the DSN-file when created? Just to verify the file is
working.

Is it possible to use an IP-adress as ServerName?
