Re: [GENERAL] OLEDB vs ODBC to access postgres

The oledb driver PostgreSQL doesn't support Delphi (and a lot of other things). My gut feeling is it probably never will...most people who use the ms stack use the odbc or the .net drivers. My personal favorite connection library to Delphi is Zeos...it's a little cranky to set up but extremely fast and powerful. It has a client side sql parser that allows very advanced data binding. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

My guess is that ODBC is better supported and developed. Since you are using Delphi have you considered the .Net driver, I believe Delphi now supports it. Joshua D.
