Thread: Why would Postgres not show in my data connections?
As a novice to Postgres I have a small problem. I ran the install of the ODBC Postgres drivers (psplodbc35w.dll), and I verified that the file exists. However when I go to the Data Source manager in Windows 7 (Home Premium) Postgres is not a database type in the list. Can anyone point me to what I may have done wrong? A link, article, anything!

You probably need to add a suitable entry to the appropriate ODBC configuration file. On Linux that'd be /etc/odbcinst.ini but I don't know where this is configured on Windows. You would be likely to get more useful help on the pgsql-odbc mailing list, or try the docs at http://psqlodbc.projects.postgresql.org/ regards, tom lane
