Re: [ODBC] ODBC constructs

what specific non-Windows operating system distribution are you using?  ODBC stuff is packaged for most of them.  for instance, the yum.postgresql.org repository has it packaged as postgresql92-odbc, available for a variety of redhat/fedora/centos style systems, I'm sure the debian/ubuntu apt repositories have similar.

Currently looking for RHEL 5. Thanks! yes looked into my machine and "yum list postgres*" listed "postgresql91-odbc.x86_64"

But when trying to install, then found the base ODBC library itself are missing and those needs to be configured first on test machine.

Error: Missing Dependency: libodbc.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package postgresql91-odbc-09.00.0310-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64 (pgdg91)
Error: Missing Dependency: libodbcinst.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package postgresql91-odbc-09.00.0310-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64 (pgdg91)

that should have come from the base repository...
