Обсуждение: Connecting using Paradox 10

Hi,

I'm new to psql, as you might notice from the subject of this post.
I'm sorry for bothering you with this extremely basic post.

However, i just cant succeed to connect to my psql database when using
Paradox 10.
With Access, it's no problem at all.

I keep getting the error "invalid configuration parameter" (Nr 12550
[$31] [$ 6]), which might mean that i'm leaving somethin blank that i
shouldn't, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation available
whatsoever, probably because it's too simple for words....

Now here's my input:
Type                                           PostgreSQL
BATCH COUNT                           200
BLOB SIZE                                 32
BLOBS TO CACHE                      64
DATABASE NAME                      MyDB
ENABLE BCD                             FALSE
ENABLE SCHEMA CHACHE       FALSE
LANGDRIVER                             --is blank--
MAX ROWS                                -1
ODBC DSN                                MyDB
OPEN MODE                             READ/WRITE
ROWSET SIZE                           20
SCHEMA CACHE DIR                 --is blank--
SCHEMA CACHE SIZE               8
SCHAMA CAHCE TIME               -1
SQL PASSTHROUGH MODE      SHARED AUTOCOMMIT
SQLQRYMODE                          --is blank--
USERNAME                              IAmMe

Of course, when i try to connect, i provide the correct password, and
then i get the error message descibed in the above.

Can anyone please help a noob?

Thank you very much in advance

Well, I think it's a Borland error rather than a postgresql one. There's
a list here and 12550 matches yours (it's also listed as $3106 which is
the hexadecimal version of the error-number)

There's a mention of something similar here with Oracle ODBC and Paradox:
   http://www.wisc.edu/drmt/configureODBC.html

I don't know if that's any help? Hopefully it'll point in the right
direction.
