I read that DatabaseSpy supported Postgres. I have a Postgres database running on my LAN, and I'm unable to connect to it.

I'm working with Windows XP. I've installed your software. When I try to connect, the only 'wizard' option for connecting to Postgres involves ODBC. I've read something on the net about you guys supporting direct connections (libpq).

Anyhow - ODBC would be OK - if it worked. But the list of available ODCB drivers doesn't appear to include Postgres? So in what sense do you support Postgres?

Thanks,
Lewis.

Hello,

You should have already installed (and tested) the correct ODBC drivers for your PostgreSQL database, and then you can simply select an existing (or create a new) DSN from the connection wizard.
