There are two ODBC drivers available, PsqlODBC and OpenLink ODBC.
PsqlODBC is included in the distribution. More information about it
can be gotten from ftp://ftp.PostgreSQL.org/pub/odbc/.
You can download PsqlODBC from
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php.
OpenLink ODBC can be gotten from http://www.openlinksw.com. It works
with their standard ODBC client software so you'll have PostgreSQL

commercial-quality support, but a freeware version will always be
available. Please send questions to postgres95@openlink.co.uk.

For complex cases, many use the Perl interface and CGI.pm or mod_perl.
2.3) Does PostgreSQL have a graphical user interface? A report generator?
An embedded query language interface?
2.3) Does PostgreSQL have a graphical user interface?
Yes, there are several graphical interfaces to PostgreSQL available.
These include PgAccess http://www.pgaccess.com), PgAdmin II
(http://www.pgadmin.org, Win32-only), RHDB Admin
(http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb/ ) and Rekall (
http://www.thekompany.com/products/rekall/, proprietary). There is
also PHPPgAdmin ( http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/ ), a web-based
interface to PostgreSQL.
We have a nice graphical user interface called PgAccess which can also
be used as a report generator. The Web page is
http://www.pgaccess.org/.
We also include ecpg, which is an embedded SQL query language
interface for C.
2.4) What languages are able to communicate with PostgreSQL?
We have:
Most popular programming languages contain an interface to PostgreSQL.
Check your programming language's list of extension modules.
The following interfaces are included in the PostgreSQL distribution:
* C (libpq)
* C++ (libpq++)
* Embedded C (ecpg)
* Java (jdbc)
* Perl (DBD::Pg and perl5)
* ODBC (odbc)
* Python (PyGreSQL)
* TCL (libpgtcl)
* C Easy API (libpgeasy)
* PHP ('pg_' functions, Pear::DB)
Additional interfaces are available at
http://www.PostgreSQL.org/interfaces.html and
http://gborg.PostgreSQL.org.
Additional interfaces are available at http://gborg.postgresql.org in
the Drivers/Interfaces section.
