- On a computer with 64 bits operating system, start C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Go to System DSN tab and click on Add
Select PostgreSQL Unicode driver and click on Finish button
- Give the ODBC data source a good descriptive name
- Database = imsma OR staging
- Server is localhost if the database is on your computer
- Port is normally 5432
- User name = imsma
- Password = password
