Windows DSN Configuration
After installing the driver, create a DSN for PostgreSQL in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
-
Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
- Type
ODBC Data Sources
in the Windows search box and choose the application that matches the bitness of the third-party application (32-bit or 64-bit). You can also open ODBC Data Sources from Control Panel > Administrative Tools. Note that before Windows 8, the icon was named Data Sources (ODBC).
- Alternatively, you can run
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
to create a 32-bit DSN or C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
to create a 64-bit DSN.
- Select the User DSN or System DSN tab. Most applications work with both types, yet some applications require a specific type of DSN.
- Click Add. The Create New Data Source dialog will appear.
- Select Devart ODBC Driver for ODBC Driver for PostgreSQL and click Finish. The driver setup dialog will open.
- Enter the connection information in the appropriate fields.
- You may test the connectivity by clicking Test Connection.
- Click OK to save the DSN.
