Thread: Why would Postgres not show in my data connections?

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/
