This is the *third* time I'm installing psqlODBC, and I *still* find it confusing. Last time it took 20 minutes to findthe right binary for Windows. Could someone make this a little cleaner and more obvious? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bryce Nesbitt (brycenesbitt) Date: 2006-04-28 03:38 Message: http://www.postgresql.org/download/ directs you to http://pgfoundry.org/projects/psqlodbc/ which sends you to http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000125 a DEVELOPMENT RELEASE intended for testing purposes only! So you go to http://www.postgresql.org/ Which sends you to: http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/books/aw_pgsql/node153.html Or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7/static/odbc.htm Or from http://www.postgresql.org/download/ right back to your step #1 above. The ONLY way I FINALLY found the windows binary distribution was with google, at: ftp://ftp10.us.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/odbc/versions/ Then I still have to guess which version to install: Directory: dll 02/02/2006 03:25:00 AM Directory: mm 02/02/2006 03:33:00 AM Directory: msi 02/02/2006 03:37:00 AM Directory: old 11/27/2005 09:34:00 PM Directory: src 02/02/2006 03:18:00 AM No, sir. It is not clear. I'm pretty persistent, but I nearly gave up, figuring that only unstable release were available. If you want more "real" people using the driver, it simply needs to be more obvious. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dave Page (dpage) Date: 2006-04-27 21:27 Message: The page at http://www.postgresql.org/download/ simply provides a link to the project. The download are on pgFoundry directsyou to http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/ for stable releases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=538&aid=1000586&group_id=1000125
