Configuring ODBC data source with PostgreSQL demo database

To set up the ODBC data source with the PostgreSQL demo database,

  1. Install PostgreSQL 12 and PostgreSQL ODBC driver (both 32-bit and 64-bit).

    Make sure the Command Line Tools component is selected during the PostgreSQL 12 installation.

  2. Restore the PostgreSQL demo database file. For example,

    "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin\pg_restore" --host=127.0.0.1 --port=5432 --username="postgres" --clean --if-exists --dbname=PBDemo --verbose "C:\DB\pbpostgres2022.dmp"
  3. Create the ODBC data source that includes the following settings.

    Data Source: PB Postgres V2022R2

    Database: PBDemo

    Server: [IP address for the database]

    Username: [user name for the database, postgres, by default]

    Port: [port number for the database, 5432, by default]

    Password: [password for the database, postgres, for example]
