Hello,

Switching from SQL Server to PostgreSQL.

Installed Postgresql 11.8 successfully. 

Need to install ODBC to connect from front end.   When I install ODBC using stack builder <after installing PG>, I see the ODBC name < in ODBC data source administrator>

PostgresSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI)
PostgresSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE)

and install ODBC I get the following names

PostgreSQL ANSI
PostgreSQL Unicode

1.  Is there any difference between two ?
2.  Since I dynamically construct DSN from front end, I need to get the same name in all machines.   Is there any way to get the same name, < PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(ANSI) or PostgreSQL ODBC Driver(UNICODE), while installing from ODBC Driver downloaded from the above mentioned site ?

Happiness Always

The character encoding and therefore the set of characters you can use.
Always use PostgreSQL Unicode, unless you have (very old and arguably
broken) software which can't handle it.
