Thread: Borland BDE showing public schema in table names

Borland BDE showing public schema in table names

From
"Paul Cochrane"
Date:
Hi There.

Might be a FAQ. First posting to this list. I just upgraded to
postgresql 7.3.1 and am have some problems accessing the
database from Paradox (which uses borlands BDE) through the
psqlodbc driver (I am using the latest PGADMIN2).

Whenever I want to use a table on the pgsql server, the tablenames
returned to paradox are of the form "public.tablename" instead of
plain "tablename". This screws up the application since it would
need a LOT of changing to rename all the table references to this
format.

The server & connection seem to work properly - it's just the public
addition to the name that is causing me problems.

Thanks in advance for any information.

This seems to have to do with the schema support in 7.3. There should be
a setting to turn it off, but I'm not sure.

Re: Borland BDE showing public schema in table names

As a further point on this issue, I've reverted back to postgresql 7.2.3
and the public schema does NOT show up in the table names. This
is probably due to 7.2.3 not supporting the schema (as far as I know)
and everything is working properly again.

Is there any chance of the psqlodbc driver being fixed for BDE
application (or an option to disable/hide the public schema) so I can
use the latest version of postgres?
