Konstantin, We'll have to take a look at that. I always thought that the PostgreSQL OLE DB provider was less tested and robust than the ODBC one, but I have to admit its been a while since we have looked at it. Last I tried it which was awhile ago, I couldn't get it to go in a linked server configuration or for SSIS processing. Things have probably changed as you mention. I'll have to revisit this. Thanks for the suggestion. Regina

Correct me if I'm wrong but native PostgreSQL OLE DB Provider would have done work more efficiently (see http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.895 - version 1.2.8 supports Linked Servers).

I think the issue of being able to connect to PostgreSQL from a 64-bit Windows system and in particular 64-bit SQL Server 2005 has come up a couple of times on both PostGIS and PostgreSQL ODBC groups. Jeff Crumbley kindly notified us that Microsoft released this month a 64-bit OLEDB for ODBC driver which now makes connecting from a 64-it SQL Server install via a Linked Server configuration possible. We thank him greatly for that and have our linked servers working now. We have posted the steps we took to achieve this on an Intel 64-bit SQL Server 2005 install. So far seems to work well for us. We hope this information is valuable to others. http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/46-Setting-up-Post <http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/46-Setting-up-Pos tgreSQL-as-a-Linked-Server-in-Microsoft-SQL-Server-64-bit.html> greSQL-as-a-Linked-Server-in-Microsoft-SQL-Server-64-bit.html Thanks, Leo and Regina _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
