Using Oracle 8.1.6 I was never successful in accessing a PostgreSQL database. Examination of the log files revealed that the Oracle ODBC driver uses double quotes "" inconsistently creating and then calling a table alias. There was no way around this, so it was impossible to access the PostgreSQL database from Oracle. I posted these findings on the OTN Heterogeneous Services discussion group and was told I needed to contact Oracle support. I moved on to other projects and I have not tried again with later versions of the Oracle ODBC driver. If you find a way to get Oracle to talk to PostgreSQL please let me know.

Hi, when I use the psqlODBC with MS-Access I´ve got not problems but when I try to use it with Oracle the next message appears:
SELECT * FROM "ORACLE"."TABLITA"@POSGRES
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this
message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC]Record &SQLREC has no fields. Loading failed
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from POSGRES
Altougth I´ve got already fields in the tables, I´ve tried with differnt kind of datatypes varchar char int numeric....but the problem persist
Any Idea???
Thanks in advance
