From:
pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Typing80wpm@xxxxxxx Tonight I shall install the Postgresql
ODBC driver which I downloaded, and experiment. Is anyone using ODBC? >> We use PostgreSQL for lots of
things. For instance, there is a tool we wrote that synchronizes database
systems from any platform and database type into any alternative platform and
database type. So (for instance) you can take VSAM files and create an Oracle
data warehouse from it. We use PostgreSQL for intermediate steps and for
doing customized metadata storage. It performs admirably. We are
using OLEDB as the interface with VB.NET. We are using a driver we wrote
ourselves, but I imagine that the sourceforge one would serve well for most
purposes. (PostgreSQL can also be the source or target database and some
customers are using it for that). << 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? >> Use the language that you are most
familiar with and that your customers will be able to maintain. << 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. >> I am guessing that there is some easy way
to make it work. Surely, there will be some kind of standardized
interface like ODBC, OLEDB or a .NET provider. If not, there may be a
product very similar to RealBasic that you can use. A web search might be
helpful. Try this: << |
