I don’t know why this error in XE3, did you try to contact Embarcadero technical support?

Some kind of limitation?

I created my “postgreTest” DSN and went and refreshed the Data Explorer, but it wasn’t listed.

That’s when I tried manually creating an object with the same name in the Data Explorer.

I mean, in the second image, is “PostgreSQLOdbc” supposed to appear automatically?

@Des, you have to create a DSN and set the database name in on your dbExpress connection to the name of the DSN

I followed your example but when I go in the Data Explorer window I can’t find the system DSN I created.

I tried adding manually a new connection via the Data Explorer but I still can’t connect.

The error I get is “[Microsoft][Driver Manager ODBC] Connection not open”

I tried with a simple MDB file but I still get the same error, so I think it’s not about the pgSQL ODBC drivers.

Can you give me any advice?

Thanks

However, in these days and ages it might just as well be prophetic:-(
