For the driver name in the connect string, try {PostgreSQL ANSI} or {PostgreSQL Unicode}, instead of just {PostgreSQL}. I noticed that the Windows ODBC administrator inserted this for the driver name. Unfortunately, the new driver name was not documented in any of the PostgreSQL documentation I found on ODBC, so it took me hours to debug this problem.

Subject: [ODBC] How To Connect PostgreSQL thru VB without DSN
Hi,
I want to know How To Connect PostgreSQL thru VB throughDSN-less connection.
I used the following syntax
Private Sub ConnectDB
On Error GoTo EH
Dim c As New ADODB.Connection
c.open "DRIVER={PostgreSQL};SERVER=200.200.200.1 ;port=5432;DATABASE=MyDB;UID=postgres;PWD=postgres;"
Exit Sub
EH:
Msgbox Err.Description,vbcritical,"Error Info"
End Sub
The IP address of the machine, where PostgreSQL is installed, is 200.200.200.1 which i noted from the Mynetwork places ---> properties ---> Local Area Connection ---> TCP/IP Internet Protocol properties.
The operating system installed is Win-2000
But , the above code gives error as [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source name not found or default driver not specified.
I guess the value for the SERVER parameter in the above connection string code will be wrong. Please guide me.
