I am attempting to run Postgresql ODBC on Win XP connecting Postgresql version 8.0 to Delphi 4.
 
So far I haven't been able to even get the Windows BDE Admin to recognize my Postgre database. It gives me an error on password.
 
Can someone point me to a tutorial that would help me understand what I am doing wrong?

Hi Bob,

An easy way to get Postgres in Delphi is using the ADO components with the Postgres ODBC Driver.

The BDE is the Borlad Database Engine, a separted basic database system delivery with Delphi by Borland.
For administrating your Postgres Database the BDE Explorer is not going to work, you should you PgAdmin (works unter
windows).

Regards,

Jean Huveneers

I am attempting to run Postgresql ODBC on Win XP connecting Postgresql version 8.0 to Delphi 4.

So far I haven't been able to even get the Windows BDE Admin to recognize my Postgre database. It gives me an error on
password.

Can someone point me to a tutorial that would help me understand what I am doing wrong?

I avoid BDE like the plague, as it adds a huge overhead to
applications and has to be installed separately at deployment. Since
Delphi 6 came out I've been using dbExpress instead - all you have to
do to deploy it is copy two or three DLLs. There's a (commercial)
driver for PostgreSQL at www.vitavoom.com which works very well.
