In response to Password not passed to ODBC from iODBC MacOSX  (Giuliano Gavazzi <dev+pgsql@humph.com>)
List pgsql-odbc
I have now checked that with the OpenLink Postgres Lite single tier
(direct to port 5432) driver the password entered at the dialog is
indeed passed to the driver and the connection succeeds. So it looks
like this problem might be with the pgsql-odbc driver (on MacOS X at
least).

mylog.. gives me:

[-1610609172]CC_connect: entering...
[-1610609172]CC_connect(): DSN = 'postgres', server =
'theservername', port = '5432', database = 'dbname', username =
'uname', password=''

This does not worry me as an application developer as I can always
present a login dialog from the application itself and build my own
connection string, but many third party applications will not do this.

Thanks

Giuliano
