Matt,
I'm trying to view a PostgreSQL database with the example viewer you provide
with your ODBC library. It doesn't "show up" anywhere for me to connect to it.
Am I way outta my league here and need some basic training?
Also, since there's a MySQL library, couldn't there be one for PostgreSQL?

We definitely need one. We use Postgre at the place I work at and I don't like
that I can't use it with Euphoria. Plus, many high-tech corporations prefer
Postgre and it's being openly advocated by a few (most recently Sun).
I almost started a wrapper for it in July-August but only got as far as reading
through the documentation and looking at the code before more pressing projects
got in the way. If someone needs help with making one I might be able to help but
I'm still much too busy to work on it in any large degree.

Did you set up a DSN for your database? You need to open up the Data Sources
(ODBC) control panel applet to set this up under windows (I believe you need
to open the 'Administrative Tools' first, to get there. I've never set up
a DSN for UnixODBC, so I can't help you there, if that's what you need.

As others have mentioned, there undoubtedly could be, but I don't know
anything about the PostgreSQL API. Sounds like a good project for you. :P
