Thread: TCP/IP DB connection for a Macintosh?

Hello all,

I have searched the archives but I have been unable to find anything on
connecting a macintosh via TCP/IP to a remote posgres database.  I have
found an interface for MySQL (www.liback.com/macsql/) but I need a more
robust database for my particular application.  Although I am a capable
programmer, I have no desire to reinvent the wheel here... Moreover, I
must admit to being relatively new to database programming.  If someone
can point me in the right direction on where to get started, I'm sure I
can figure something out!

Thanks,

Randall

You can connect using Java en the postgresql JDBC driver.
Just copy the postgresql.jar file to your Macintosh.
