Обсуждение: Resend: 16-bit ODBC-driver

Would the application being 16 bit really make a difference?  I'd assume if
it can interface with the ODBC API, it should not matter if it was compiled
as 16 bit or 32 bit, correct?

Or do you have a problem where you need to install the postgres driver on a
Win3.1 machine?

Hi,

I've asked this question several weeks ago, perhaps is was lost is space...

Is there a 16-bit ODBC driver available? I've a user who has to connect
a 16-bit application to the Postgres 7.0.x backend.
Is there somewhere an old driver under the dust?

gr,

Willem

I recall that 1 or 2 years ago the 16 bit code was dropped due to
support issues as the 32-bit version was being developed and expanded. 

You might be able to resurrect it, but it will be at least some work
(probably *lots* of work) to upgrade the interfaces and embedded queries
to cope with a modern PostgreSQL backend.

Probably not worth it :(

Using MS-Access 2.0 (16Bit) I cann open the 32BIT datasource without
any Problems on my NT 4 Machine.

An rather strange solution would be to include the ODBC-Links into an
MDB-Database.

The ODBC.INI does contain an driver32 entry pointing to the
PostgreSQL-Driver.

Is it possible to connect your Lotus driectly to an ODBC-Datasource?
The Setup-Lines looks like tirectly connecting to the dirver
(bypassing the driver-manager).
