They translate from the ODBC API to the Postgresql network API. Hmm. You may need the postgresql libraries on the client as well. I already had the postgresql client port installed on the client side when I installed odbc, and may not have noticed. > New to ODBC, figured FBSD is a good place to learn it. Any help or > pointers appreciated. All I can recommend is that you keep asking questions on -questions. I just installed ODBC to use with Applix Office. It was a pita because I was use a newer version of Postgres than Applix Office supported, and a newer version of Applix Office than Postgres supported. Once I found the proper drivers, it worked fine. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
