I am new to postgresql.I would like to convert stored Procedures and functions from MS SQL server. However in the Pgadmin client , the procedure dialog is not available and Function dailog behaves more or less like procedure?
So Functions and procedures are same in the postgresql. How do we distinguish them here?
OS : windows 7 64 bit
EDB server installed : 10.1.3
pgadmin 4 version : 2.0
Please let me know if there is any understanding Gap and if there is some installlation/upgrade, please share the link.
Thanks in advance.

How pg-admin is used with postgresql?
How do they work together?
I want to know the working and the realtion between the two.
pgAdmin is a GUI client specifically written for PostgreSQL. It is written in Python and uses the PostgreSQL C library libpq via psycopg2 to communicate with the PostgreSQL database server.
You need the PostgreSQL server running before you can connect to it with pgAdmin.
pgAdmin is an independent project, and it is written by different people than PostgreSQL (although there are naturally overlaps).
Can someone tell me the difference between pgAdmin and postgreSQL? Are both of them one in the same? I can't draw a ER diagram in pgAdmin but was wondering if it's possible in postgreSQL?
Once I downloaded the postgreSQL it automatically downloaded the pgAdmin and the postgreSQL database is not in sight.
The PostgreSQL is a database engine implementing SQL standards. It usually listen as a server on a network tcp port to provide its abilities.
The pgAdmin is a sort of client. You are able to manipulate schema and data on an instance or multiple instances of PostgreSQL engines.
The MS Windows instalation package consists of both PostgreSQL server and PgAdmin client. So far right after the instalation you are able to manage your databases.
PostgreSQL (pronounced as post-gress-Q-L) is an open source relational
database management system ( DBMS ) developed by a worldwide team of
volunteers. PostgreSQL is not controlled by any corporation or other
private entity and the source code is available free of charge.
The pgAdmin package is a free and open source graphical user interface
administration tool for PostgreSQL, which is supported on many
computer platforms.
phpPgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL written in PHP and based on the popular phpMyAdmin interface
originally written for MySQL administration
Hope you can understand now it well!!
I've asked this question on serverfault and someone told me to ask here.
Can I make a connection to a PostgreSQL server using FreeTDS, more specifically using the tsql command?
I've been trying for a few days now, using many different configurations. Even though I am able to connect to the DB using isql and PostgreSQL odbc driver, I can't make it work using tsql (it also doesn't seem to use odbc.ini or odbcinst.ini). So, I was wondering if the tsql command only works with SQL Server.
If you want, I can post the files freetds.conf, odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini.
Thanks.
FreeTDS only supports the TDS protocol (hence the name). And this protocol is only implemented by Microsoft SQL Server and the Sybase database.
So, no you can not use FreeTDS to connect to a Postgres database.
You need to use the Postgres ODBC driver, the Postgres .Net driver or the Postgres JDBC driver to do this - depending on the programming language of your application. From a C program you can also connect to Postgres directly using the libpq library.
Can Oracle 9.2 client connect to Oracle 12c server?
We have an old server which is an 11g version, and so far there's no problem connecting from client.
Thank You.
That isn't a supported combination, no. As it says in the documentation, you can see the supported client/server combinations at My Oracle Support note 207303.1.
The 9i client used to be supported with an 11g server, but is not with a 12c server. There is a specific note about it:
Attempting to connect from 9.2 to 12.1 will fail with an "ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol" error.
We are currently using the 9i 32bit Client to connect to Oracle 12c 64bit server in test at the moment and so far it works but with caution.
For example, whenever you query certain data types not available in 9i but available in 12c, the system may crash. We therefore had to build views that convert the timestamp data type to the date data type for example. Then it works fine. Even use of indexes seem to work fine.
I have a client with FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced.
I need to be able to connect to the filemaker database via SQL. I am using MS SQL Server 2008 R2, or Server 2012 can be used.
These are the steps I have tried
0) Turned on ODBC/JDBC sharing in File -> Sharing on FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced for "All Users"
1) installed the FileMaker OBDC driver included on the filemaker disc
2) odbcad32.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and added a new filemaker System DSN and directed it to the filemaker database.
3) Attempted to add a linked server to SQL using Provider Microsoft OLE DB Provider for OBDC Drivers and the System DSN name i created for Data Source. I left all other fields blank.
I get this error:
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "FILEMAKER2".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "FILEMAKER2" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
FILEMAKER2 is the what i called the System DSN.
What am I doing wrong/What do I need to correct in order to connect to filemaker with SQL?
Is there a connection string to put in for Provider String?
I have the same mismatch error trying to do a test connect with access.
Thank you for any help.
The error you're getting is because of the driver installed is a 32bit driver propably on a 64bit system.
Look in the downloads of FM for the correct xbit driver.
I've connected to FM using ODBC from PHP apps to do basic inserts, updates, deletes of data. I haven't worked with it like you're attempting to do, though, and like #ted said, FM really wasn't built as a SQL platform.
Their answer to this was to go the other way around. You can setup External SQL sources within FileMaker, and bind your SQL database to FM so that those tables show up in FM the same as regular FM tables. These tables can then be used within FM scripts accordingly, so you could setup any data sync steps necessary there. You could create scripts to move data from FM layouts into the SQL DB layouts at given intervals throughout the day, for example.
Hope that helps.
FileMaker 11 only comes with a 32 bit ODBC driver. The error you got happens when you use a 32 bit driver with the 64 bit ODBC admin utility. Set up your DSN using the 32 bit utility, found here:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
...and it will work fine.
