Обсуждение: Basic connection problem
I'm just trying to get going with an ODBC interface to Postgresql 8.1.5 on RHEL 3.0. I'm using the database without problems via psql, ecpg, and JDBC. I've hit the same problem using both iODBC and unixODBC driver managers. It get the following when I try to connect to the database: [08001][unixODBC]could not translate host name "port=5432" to address: Name or service not known [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect I've experimented with my ~/.odbc.ini file with and without Port = 5432 but can't seem to figure how port=5432 is even getting into the connect string. I've got psqlodbc 08.01.0200. I had to make a couple of small coding changes to build it for iODBC but unixODBC worked fine with psqlodbc code as downloaded. I have unicode support turned on in the driver. My database uses UTF8. Surely this must be a common problem. What am I doing wrong? Paul
I don't claim to be any expert using ODBC under Unix but It'd probably be helpful if you post the relevant section from yourodbc*.ini files... http://www.unixodbc.org/odbcinst.html shows an example like so: [PostgreSQL] Description = Test to Postgres Driver = PostgreSQL Trace = Yes TraceFile = sql.log Database = nick Servername = localhost UserName = Password = Port = 5432 Protocol = 6.4 ReadOnly = No RowVersioning = No ShowSystemTables = No ShowOidColumn = No FakeOidIndex = No ConnSettings = Are you sure you have Servername specified correctly? The error message you are receiving leads me to believe "Port=5432"is somehow being confused for the database host server name. Regards, Shelby Cain ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul B.

Thanks. That was the problem. I had Host, not Servername. I used a sample odbc.ini from iODBC as a pattern and it used Host. Thanks again.
