It seems to me that there are too many steps (some are broken) needed to find the actual download page for the ODBC driver. My fellow co-workers agree with my concern. I would expect that other ODBC users feel the same. Here are the steps needed to find the download page. I'll try to point out the steps that I consider "broken". 1) www.postgresql.org -> downloads 2) ./download/ -> Software Catalogue 3) ./download/product-categories -> Drivers and interfaces 4) ./download/products/2 -> psqlODBC 5) ./pgfoundry.org/projects/psqlodbc -> no where to go from here This is the step that I think is broken. At this point, there is no other link at pgfoundry to take you to the psql ODBC binaries. You have to read the page and find the text: "Downloads are available on the PostgreSQL Mirror network at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/".Since the above text is only text and not a hyper-link,you have to copy the link and paste it into that address-bar of the web-browsers. Also, pgfoundry creates a bit of confusion since it has its own download link "http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000125&release_id=364" and following this link takes the user to a page with nothing to download. 6) after pasting the link, we are finally at the ODBC download page: www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/ To me 6 steps are a lot, it would be nice if there were fewer steps. Also to me, pgfoundry is effectively a dead-end having not further links to the actual download page. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angeles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug
