User Client Questions
|

|
||||
2.1) Are there ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL?
|
||||
2.1) What interfaces are available for PostgreSQL?
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ODBC drivers available, PsqlODBC and OpenLink ODBC.
|
||||
The PostgreSQL install includes only the C and embedded C interfaces.
|
||||
All other interfaces are independent projects that are downloaded
|
||||
separately; being separate allows them to have their own release
|
||||
schedule and development teams.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download PsqlODBC from
|
||||
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenLink ODBC can be gotten from http://www.openlinksw.com. It works
|
||||
with their standard ODBC client software so you'll have PostgreSQL
|
||||
ODBC available on every client platform they support (Win, Mac, Unix,
|
||||
VMS).
|
||||
|
||||
They will probably be selling this product to people who need
|
||||
commercial-quality support, but a freeware version will always be
|
||||
available. Please send questions to postgres95@openlink.co.uk.
|
||||
Some programming languages like PHP include an interface to
|
||||
PostgreSQL. Interfaces for languages like Perl, TCL, Python, and many
|
||||
others are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org in the
|
||||
Drivers/Interfaces section and via Internet search.
|
||||
|
||||
2.2) What tools are available for using PostgreSQL with Web pages?

|

See http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/GUITools for a more detailed
|
||||
list.
|
||||
|
||||
2.4) What languages are able to communicate with PostgreSQL?
|
||||
|
||||
Most popular programming languages contain an interface to PostgreSQL.
|
||||
Check your programming language's list of extension modules.
|
||||
|
||||
The following interfaces are included in the PostgreSQL distribution:
|
||||
* C (libpq)
|
||||
* Embedded C (ecpg)
|
||||
* Java (jdbc)
|
||||
* Python (PyGreSQL)
|
||||
* TCL (libpgtcl)
|
||||
|
||||
Additional interfaces are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org in
|
||||
the Drivers/Interfaces section.
