The other application I use to test the login is to create a new Access 2003 link table and I create a new ODBC connection and put in the same information as I did on the SQL server. It works.
The different most likely is the the ODBC drive version installed on the desktop is different from the one I am trying to install on the SQL server. The desktop is 32bit Windows 7 and I installed the ODBC probably two years ago. I do not remember the version I installed, probably related to 9.4. The bin is in a ProgramFiles\psqlODBC\0900 folder.
For the SQL server, I am get the driver from here:
I am quite new to PostgreSQL and I need some help to choose the ODBC driver to install on a new 64bit SQL server 2014 standard. It is on a Windows Server 2012 R2 OS that is recently set up.
I need to set up a ODBC Data Sources and link server on the SQL server to query data on a 64bit PostgreSQL 9.4.5 server. The PostgreSQL is on a 64bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise OS.
and install it on the SQL server. Then I go to Server Manager >Tools>ODBC Data Sources (64-bit) > System DSN
to create a new System Data Sources. When I click 'Test', it gives me an error message:
Fatal:password authentication failed for user "dnddev"
I create this new user and I tested the connection on another application so I know the password is correct.
Are you sure you are connecting to the same Postgres server in both cases?
Do I need to install an older version of ODBC driver on the SQL server? If so, which one I should use? I try to find something like psqlodbc_09_04_..... but I do not see one.
