There are two ODBC drivers available, PsqlODBC and OpenLink ODBC.
|
||||
|
||||
PsqlODBC is included in the distribution. More information about it
|
||||
can be gotten from ftp://ftp.PostgreSQL.org/pub/odbc/.
|

You can download PsqlODBC from
|

http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php.

2.3) Does PostgreSQL have a graphical user interface?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, there are several graphical interfaces to PostgreSQL available.
|
||||
These include PgAccess http://www.pgaccess.com), PgAdmin II
|
||||
(http://www.pgadmin.org, Win32-only), RHDB Admin
|
||||
(http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb/ ) and Rekall (
|
||||
http://www.thekompany.com/products/rekall/, proprietary). There is
|
||||
also PHPPgAdmin ( http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/ ), a web-based
|
||||
interface to PostgreSQL.
|
||||
|
||||
We have a nice graphical user interface called PgAccess which can also
|
||||
be used as a report generator. The Web page is
|
||||
http://www.pgaccess.org/.
|
||||
|
||||
We also include ecpg, which is an embedded SQL query language
|
||||
interface for C.
|
||||
|
||||
2.4) What languages are able to communicate with PostgreSQL?
|
||||
|
||||
We have:
|
||||
Most popular programming languages contain an interface to PostgreSQL.
|
||||
Check your programming language's list of extension modules.
|
||||
|
||||
The following interfaces are included in the PostgreSQL distribution:
|
||||
* C (libpq)
|
||||
* C++ (libpq++)
|
||||
* Embedded C (ecpg)
|
||||
* Java (jdbc)
|
||||
* Perl (DBD::Pg and perl5)
|
||||
* ODBC (odbc)
|
||||
* Python (PyGreSQL)
|
||||
* TCL (libpgtcl)
|
||||
* C Easy API (libpgeasy)
|
||||
* PHP ('pg_' functions, Pear::DB)
|
||||
|
||||
Additional interfaces are available at
|
||||
http://www.PostgreSQL.org/interfaces.html and
|
||||
http://gborg.PostgreSQL.org.
|
||||
Additional interfaces are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org in
|
||||
the Drivers/Interfaces section.
