Thread: New to PostgreSql - requires assistance
Good day
I am a VB6 programmer with plenty of MS Access Databasis and applications and would like to start using PostGreSql instead.
I installed PostGreSql, pgAdmin4 and drivers - not sure if everything required is now installed.
I successfullly created a database and table in PostgreSql, and now want to start implimenting it in VB6.
My big problem now is the connection to the database from VB6. I tried the following connection strings:
conUsers.ConnectionString = "Driver={PostGreSql Unicode(X64)};SERVER=localhost;port=5432;DATBASE=WinMedAngela;UID=postgres;PWD=Goslow22%;CommandTimeOut=300;"
conUsers.ConnectionString = "Driver={PostgreSql ANSI(x64)};SERVER=localhost;port=5432;DATBASE=WinMedAngela;UID=postgres;PWD=Goslow22%;CommandTimeOut=300;"
conUsers.ConnectionString = "Driver={PostgreSql};SERVER=localhost;port=5432;DATBASE=WinMedAngela;UID=postgres;PWD=Goslow22%;CommandTimeOut=300;"
... which caused error "Data Source Name not found and no default driver specified".
It seems that there is a problem with the driver.
Could you please assist me with this issue.
Kind regards
