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.

- * C (libpq)
- * Embedded C (ecpg)
- * Java (jdbc)
- * Python (PyGreSQL)
