PostgreSQL Settings "ODBC Entry To Use" is empty

Did you run the StackBuilder program that I detailed in the second post of this thread?

[Hawkfan79]

I installed postgresql on ubuntu with apt-get. There is no point in the install process to choose (or not) stackbuilder or anything else.

I've searched the repositories and google for anything related to postgresql stackbuilder and found nothing.

Then you'll have to install PostgreSQL 8.2 like I detailed in the 4th post of this thread.

just wanted to comment on the good posts I read here that helped me out on my PT2 conversion to PT3.

Thx

Try using "dbpass" as the password when installing again. If that doesn't work then on the first window where it asks for a username/password just change it to "postgres_83" and then enter whatever password you want to use.

Thank you. Using postgres_83 and it works!

btw. the download link in the 4th post isn't working anymore and i probably also was fiddling around with the newest version where they straight asked for the PW and gave me no opportunity to set a new name. running now 8.3.3 Pro and it working. Thanks again!

When I go to download postgres from the page I get a blank internet explorer page saying it doesnt exist. I tried all the US links and the other countries as well. What could be wrong and what are my options?
