I wonder if the OP set up the service description in his personal
~/.odbc.ini file. If so, it would work for him from the command line,
but odbclink running in the postgres server wouldn't see it (unless the
server happened to be running as his userid, which wouldn't be a good
setup). The fix for that would be to put the info in the system-wide
/etc/odbc.ini file.
