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?
@ -416,21 +411,6 @@
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.
