Using ODBC in Jaguar?

Posted by Cliff on from the unraveling-the-arcane dept.

dmayle asks: "I've decided to do some Mac-based database development, and, since Apple was kind enough to include ODBC Administrator, I decided to use that as a starting point. The only problem is, there doesn't seem to be ANY documentation anywhere about it. I know that PostgreSQL for Mac includes an ODBC driver, but again, I can's seem to find out any docs on how to use it... Are there any developers using this tool out there, and where did you learn how to do it?"

    Big deal, Apple provides ODBC administrator. What good does it do you without any docs or anything? You will be 10000000000000000 times better off using a database and its own administrator that is well documentated.

    But even if you really want to be stuck with OS X Server and ODBC... ODBC is open, install PostgreSQL and read how to connect to it via ODBC. That is the docs that matter.
