Re: Cannot link to postgres 8.0.0 databases using ODBC from

Laurie,
    I'm thinking these lines in the log may be of interest:

[unknown] [unknown]  2005-02-17 18:55:59 4214e8bf.9dc 0LOCATION:
BackendRun, postmaster.c:2656

and

ldb rjl_pilot 10.35.10.248(4630) 2005-02-17 18:55:59 4214e8bf.9dc
0LOCATION:  log_disconnections, postgres.c:3403

I'd try turning off log_discconnections, and see if you get any joy.  If
that works and the log still displays problems
related to BackendRun, I'd email the pg-hackers list.
