Thread: Re: Datasource-less connection (Re: DSN Less Connections with PG ODBC: Yes you can)

Dear Corey,

I'm afraid it didn't help me.

First of all, I don't know how could I use ADO-thingie to set an ODBCExpress
connection (hDbc).

Second, I'm (also) interested in specific parameters such as "Int8_as" and
the like. We could try things, once we have idea about the exact attribute
names, since hDbc's Attributes property is a stringlist.

I've also had a look at the source with no success. I don't even know what
exactly to search for.

G.
