I have cross posted this issue here following suggestion on the pg_odbc list > I'd try turning off log_discconnections, and see if you get any joy. If > that works and the log still displays problems > related to BackendRun, I'd email the pg-hackers list. We have an Access 97 database front end connected via ODBC (V8.00.00.04) Windows 2000 Desktop to a Postgres 8.0.0 backend running on Windows 2000 Server. A long running complex transaction failed possibly because of a timeout. After the failure the server logging was changed to identify the application fault. We then could not unable relink to any database on the server from any client. The error returned is "The database does not exist on the server or user authentication failed. (#105)". The advice in other similar posts is to check the hba.conf file and database user access (snips below). I cannot see anything wrong with the set up although I see that the postgres server log shows the first two lines with UNKNOWN user and client IP address. The remaining lines are as I would expect. Further investigation has identified a fault that I suppose is applicable to the combination of Postgres 8.0.0 ODBC driver running on Windows 2000 server and desktop. I have two postgresql.conf files, one is the default out-of-the-box postgresql.conf file, the other has many of the logging options turned on (I have put the diff between the two files at the end) The default config works fine, the modified config fails in that the postgres ODBC does not work (tested with Access 97,2000 and Perl ODBC connections) giving the error "The database does not exist on the server or user authentication failed. (#105)". Only ODBC seems to be affected. All other connections from php, pgadmin work fine. I have demonstrated this problem consistently on two completely different and brand new installations of P8.0.0 (W2K server and desktop). I have tried many (but not all) combinations but have not been able to pin down exactly what combination of settings generates the error. Turning off log_disconnections does not in itself cure the problem.
