Обсуждение: windoze accesse to pg backend
I am wondering what 'common' solutions are used to access postgress data on unix back ends. I'd be glad to tabulate results for the list, but don't even know all the options. I am thinking of MS-Access Paradox Excel Brio Other tools ODBC other Note, that I don't know if there is a native lib for accessing postgress from windows -- I'm thinking of something like the sybase netlibs. If anyone else wants to add to the above, please feel free. If I get much of a response, I'll tabulate and repost. Thx. -- David Bear College of Public Programs/ASU 480-965-8257 ...the way is like water, going where nobody wants it to go

There is an ODBC driver on the postgres website which works quite well for me with Access for people in the office on Windows workstations querying the database. ============================== David Stanaway Personal: david@stanaway.net Work: david@netventures.com.au

The native tool "psql" is commonly used. There is a graphical front end for windows called pgAdmin that is quite useful. Beyond that, I'd guess ODBC and JDBC are the most common methods. Also, the protocol between the client and the server is documented in chapter 4 of the Developer's Guide in case you want to write your own custom client. I'd discourage that and stick to ODBC or JDBC for portability of your application. -crl -- Chad R.
