In response to Visual Studio 2005 not happy with postgresql  ("Tobias Britz" <tobias.britz@ersystems.ch>)
List pgsql-odbc
Hi Greg,

Thanks for replying!

- As I said, I'm using the latest version 8.01.01.01 and even tried the
8.01.01.00 version without success. What do you mean by "Try a different
version" ?

- How would I add a new .Net Framework Data Provider for Npgsql to
Visual Studio 2005 (I'm speaking about the Server Explorer GUI part, not
in code, which works)

- I have a default public schema, but it's empty, as I've created my own
one. I even tried to fill the public schema with a test table, in order
to check if it was pointing there. Not the case. I checked if there was
a way to "direct" VS2005 to the right schema. I tried using "Set
search_path to" in the connection setting (page 2 of the ODBC config
dialog) without success.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards from Switzerland,

Tobias Britz

1. There is a lot going on with the pgODBC driver versions? You could
try a different version.
2. You could try Npgsql -- the .NET data provider for Postgresql.
3. It sounds like you do not have a default schema of public -- I think
that happened and/or was fixed in one of the very recent version of
pgODBC .
