Thread: Problems with ODBC Driver

Problems with ODBC Driver

From
Phil Jackson
Date:
  I have a notebook that I am using as a server for testing purposes and
it has the official ODBC driver installed. I can access this and use it
connect to PostreSql.

On a second machine on the same network - I also have the same ODBC
driver installed.

The behaviour of this one is quite different.

I have a test program that works on the server but when I run it on this
workstation, it can create a file with a couple of fields which I can
verify by looking inside PostgreSQL. But when I go to open up that file
and refer to one of its fields, I get an error message saying the field
doesn't exist.

I am running XP Professional on both machines.

I have no idea what is happening - I have opened up the firewall on both
machines to allow port 5432 to be used by all applications with TCP
(also tried TCP and UDP).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers

Phil Jackson

Hi.

There is very little information which explores a problem.
What thing is an actual error message?

The following is my imagination....
As for specific field, it may be the LOWER problem of a character.

example)
-- CREATE TABLE xx("Field" TEXT);

postgres=# SELECT Field FROM xx;
ERROR:  column "field" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT Field FROM xx;

postgres=# SELECT "Field" FROM xx;
 Field
-------
(0 rows)

If my misunderstand, the error message which you show will be able to be solved.

Hiroshi Saito

Problems with ODBC Driver

  Hi Hiroshi

The same program works on the server unchanged - that's why I think it
is something to do with the driver. The error message says that the
field name doesn't exist when it does as can be verified by looking at
the database in Postgresql.

Hi.

Um, it is very strange.
Can you send us the mylog of psqlODBC?
