Hi there,

This may be more of an OpenOffice.org question, but I thought I might
try here first as I'm already subscribed. I'm trying to connect my
Postgres 7.2.1 on Debian (sid) to the data sources in OOo. In the "Data
Source Administration" panel I am asked for the Data Source URL and the
prompted with "sdbc:odbc:" This makes sense as I've chosen to make an
ODBC connection and installed the odbc-postgresql driver. But it refuses
to connect even though I've created a postgres user for my database with
the details correctly entered in the OOo interface. I'm stumped by what
the Data Source URL might be. I just typed the name of the database "tswa".
Any tips appreciated.

regards,
sol
