Does 10.2 ship with an ODBC driver?

[johnnyb]

Hello All

I've seen several references here to 3rd party ODBC client drivers (free and otherwise) - do any native ODBC client drivers ship with Jaguar? I can't find a reference to any such beastie.

I want to (attempt to) write some native client apps in OSX and attach them to a PostgreSQL databse on our LAN. Does cocoa have any native ODBC APIs?

Thanks - JB

In /Applications/Utilities there is an app called ODBC Administrator, though whether that means anything I wouldn't have a clue.

There are also some ODBC files in /usr/bin and /usr/lib, but as I've said, I don't know whether that means anything.

Cool, I hadn't seen that app, but I think it's just an admin tool for installed drivers. I've been using native linux/bsd drivers forever, this is my first foray into ODBC and willl take some research.

FYI, I think I found what I was looking for here:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/genpage.php?downloads

Thanks - JB

Hello,

I downloaded the postgresql ODBC source. Ran the scripts. But how do I get the driver installed?

That page seems to have Windows-specific drivers. No mention of Macintosh support whatsoever. I doubt those drivers are cross-platform, since they seem to be DLL files, which are Windows-specific.
