Thread: postgresql connection string to Vb.NET

Hi,

I got a source of connection string at this page, http://www.connectionstrings.com/default.aspx?carrier=postgresql
I can't test it because it seems i do not add a reference in visual studio 2005.

Where can i download the ODBC or .NET data provider in order to successfully connect to postgresql from vb.net

Thanks.

I recommend Npgsql if you're using ADO and Datasets.  Otherwise, the
ODBC stuff. The OLE interface seems slower than Npgsql, but I haven't
compared with ODBC.

You can find all the interfaces at:
