Psql Odbc Driver Today

While "PSQL" often refers to PostgreSQL in casual contexts, in legacy enterprise systems PSQL specifically means Pervasive PSQL (or Actian Zen). This text focuses on that engine. For PostgreSQL ODBC, see the psqlodbc driver.

conn.Open(); OdbcCommand cmd = new OdbcCommand( "UPDATE Orders SET Status='Shipped' WHERE OrderID=1001", conn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

A unique nickname for your connection. Database: The specific name of your Postgres database.

The psql ODBC driver is a driver that allows ODBC-compliant applications to connect to PostgreSQL databases. It acts as a bridge between the application and the PostgreSQL database, translating ODBC requests into PostgreSQL-specific commands. This enables developers to use PostgreSQL databases with applications that support ODBC, without requiring native PostgreSQL support.
