Make sure the odbc part works before including delphi in the mix.

See

(this is using a slightly older version of postgres but the steps should
be the same).

I'm appealing for help from this list as the ODBC list has few people and no answers.

 

I have built a database in Postgresql version 8.0. I want to connect it to Delphi version 4.

 

I have attempted to connect using the Postgresql ODBC with no success.

 

Is what I am attempting to do possible considering that Postrgresql version is a lot newer than Delphi?

 

If it is possible, can someone point me to a tutorial that can guide me through the steps. I am new to interspecies connections?

 

Is there a better method of making this comnnection?
