Thread: switching from windows to linux
Hi,
We are using postgres under Cygwin on a win2k server and we would like to move it to a Linux box.
You told to use PsqlODBC driver to establish a connection between a Linux based postgres server and a Windows application.
We have to install psqlODBC driver in win2k server is it right?
Do we have to change the pg_hba.conf file of linux server?
Do we need to install unixOBDC or any other ODBC in Linux box?
Regards,
Vidhya

yes

yes, you'd have to allow remote access to the linux machine. If you're not
concerned with security (i.e. you're behind a firewall) you could add a line
host all all 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 trust
The above line would trust all clients in your local network, assuming that
you use the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Check the comments in the pg_hba.conf
file for more secure solutions.

Not unless you want to use your application locally on that linux box.
