In order to create an ODBC source the PostGreSQL driver has to be installed. The driver may be downloaded from here and installation instructions may be found here.
The driver used is of 32 bits version and therefore the 32 bits ODBC manager on 64 bits computers should be used (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe) |
- Start the ODBC manager
- Go to the System DSN tab
- Click on Add
