Thread: Freezing with the EDB engine

Hello from France,

            My problem is

            I’m using PostgreSQL 7.3.2 under cygwin, and I’m trying to access to my database locally. My ODBC driver is the 7.03.01.00 and it used to be the 7.02.00.05 (didn’t work either).

            I’m using the EDBengine which goes with Delphi6, my program being on Delphi6.

            I had no problem to access to a remote database which was on a distant server using postgresql, but I can’t access it locally.

            I created my database, it works properly I can see the tables and so on…

            But when I try to connect to it with the EDBengine, it freezes, and I have to quit it with the task manager. Same with Delphi when I launch my programm.

            I’ve typed netstat, and my computer is listening on the port 5432 so it looks ok.

            I start the postmaster with the option –i , and I tried also –h localhost, but it doesn’t work.

I really don’t know what to do next, because I don’t have any error messages, so it’s hard to figure out what’s wrong.

I’d be pleased if one of you could take one or two minutes of your time to try to help me
