Tonight I shall install the Postgresql ODBC driver which I downloaded, and experiment.
Is anyone using ODBC? I was looking at Realbasic standard edition (not professional), and thinking of downloading the demo and trying it with the ODBC. Anyone here use Realbasic at all?
In Windows, what would you say is the easiest language to use which can talk to Postgresql? Just curious.... e.g. I have Liberty Basic which is very easy, but does not easily support ODBC...
Is anyone working with some form of Python on Windows. I downloaded Python, but it seems to run only in some DOS window. I mentioned this on a Dreamcard/Revolution board, and they said "Oh, you want PYTHON CARD."
Anyway, I would be interested to learn of an easy language which can access Postgresql, together with some decent examples or tutorials to get me going. I have a feeling that Realbasic will do the trick.
My take is that the professional version is well worth the extra $300 if you are really serious about doing database development. It has support for PostgreSQL and a lot of other databases already included. If I was developing an application for some one else to use, ODBC would be my last choice because of the configuration and setup hassles.
