I've set up a PostgreSQL database on one of my Linux machines and I can link its tables to MapInfo via ODBC, but I encountered an error on one table of 'Unsupported data type for column(s): name'. In this table, the column 'name' is character(30), which seems simple enough, but MapInfo doesn't like it. Does anyone know where I can find the MI documentation that describes what data types it does find acceptable?
I can not answer your specific question, but I can say that I am able to connect to Postgres tables via ODBC with char and varchar columns. You have a current postgres odbc driver? Does that table open corrrectly in e.g. Acccess or some other WIndows db software? Could be a character encoding issue.
