Thread: odbc driver for 64 bit Windows XP?
I’ve read an archive thread from about a year ago which seems to conclude that there is no ODBC driver for Windows XP 64bit (and/or Win 2003 64 Bit). Has this situation changed in the last year?
We are running an app under Win XP 64 and need to access a PostgreSQL 8.1.x database. Ideally we’d be running the database as a 64 bit app as well, but we could run it 32 bit if necessary (which appears also to be the case.) I don’t see a way around the driver problem however.
If there is no 64 bit ODBC driver, are there any other options – other interfaces to PostgreSQL that *are* 64 bit?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Um, Present psqlODBC is done in the middle of the correspondence. It was late for the reasons that securing the environment of development and the test was difficult. However, Redhat(Linux 2.4.18-score#1 SMP) of IA64 can confirm operation now. Furthermore, Inoue-san has adjusted Windows-AMD64. Current CVS does the correspondence. > We are running an app under Win XP 64 and need to access a PostgreSQL 8.1.x > database.

What problem is it? I worry about 64 correspondences of each library of Openssl and libpq and kerberos. > > > > If there is no 64 bit ODBC driver, are there any other options - other > interfaces to PostgreSQL that *are* 64 bit? If the confirmation of stability can be taken by us soon, it is likely to guide it. Please note that it is a snap shot still version. It seems to take the time of the confirmation to do them more than thinking. P.S) Can anyone try with windows of IA64? Neither Inoue-san and me have not the environment...... Regards, Hiroshi Saito

I compiled recently AMD64 version but unfortunately
1. I can test it little by myself.
2. It can't use SSL connection because I can't provide
64bit version of libpq, ssl library .....
