When using the driver on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), be sure to use version

3.0.9 or higher, since earlier versions had a problem with fetching data.

4.6.1 Available ODBC Drivers

PostgreSQL ODBC Driver

Homepage: http://psqlodbc.projects.postgresql.org/

Tested with psqlodbc 09.03.0210.

The PostgreSQL driver is usually compiled against unixODBC on Unix platforms.

Please use the

mx.ODBC.unixODBC subpackage to connect to PostgreSQL with it.

On Mac OS X, you may need to use the

mx.ODBC.iODBC subpackage instead,

since the Mac OS X ODBC manager is derived from the iODBC manager.

Driver Notes

• Because of limitations in the PostgreSQL ODBC drivers, mxODBC always

operates in Python type binding mode.

• In mxODBC 3.3, we have added a work-around to make the driver work

with binary data and BYTEA columns.
