Re: Connection Problem - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Well to be honest, I don't know.  I need to be able to start a transation,
make query's, and then based on the results, I need to decide if I can make
the changes to the database, then commit or rollback.  This was not working
with passthrough queiryes, but most likley I just don't know enouph, and
was doing it wrong.  So I am trying ODBCDirect.  Also I want my database to
be client independent as much as possible, so if I can bypass Jet, I would
like to.
