How to connect PostgreSQL Azure Cloud Server with SQL Developer?

Does anyone know if there is any chance to connect a PostgreSQL Azure Cloud Server with SQLDeveloper?
If someone knows this may you could explain to me how it works.
Or if it doesn't work which IDE should I use for it?
Thanks for helping me out!
You can connect azure PostgreSQL database using Azure Data Studio. I tried to repro this and below are the steps to connect using ADS.
Install Azure Data Studio and Click extensions on ADS and install PostgreSQL.
Click on Connections and in servers, click new connection.
Set Connection type to PostgreSQL and enter the connection details like Server name, username and password. Click connect.
Azure PostgreSQL DB is connected using Azure Data Studio.

Windows 10 - DB2 / ODBC / .NET connection to AS400 / V4R3M0

I am looking for a way to establish a database connection to a AS400 Release V4R3M0 via ODBC or even better with .NET. Under Windows XP I can access the AS400 with the ODBC interface and the driver from the IBM Client Access software. But my release is not working under Windows 10. I have downloaded the IBM Data Server Client Packages - Version 11.5. But I could not establish a connection with it.
I tried it with ODBC Datasource configuration and with the commandline
db2cli execsql -connstring "DATABASE=databasename;HOSTNAME=as400;PORT=8471;UID=user;PWD=password;"
Thank you for your help.
First, you'll need a rather old version of the IBM ODBC driver. Newer versions yield a password error when connecting to very old systems. I'm using the driver from iseriesaccess for linux 7.1.0-2. I guess the same applies to Windows.
Please realise that V4R3 is from 1998 and it will get increasingly hard to find ways to get functioning connections to it from modern Windows systems.

How to access a DB2 database(Z OS) from an IBM I Midrange server?

We are currently in an IBM I series server with RPGLE, Cobol, CL programs with the Midrange DB2 and would like to reach out to the database hosted in IBM Z - Mainframe within the same organisation - What is the best way to achieve this ?
You should be able to define the DB2 for ZOS database in WRKRDBDIRE. Once you have the database defined, you can use a CONNECT statement in SQL to make the connection, and then do standard SQL to access it.

odbc connection and oracle server connection in crystal reports

Please suggest what is the difference between odbc connection and oracle server connection in crystal reports while connecting to oracle database.
Please suggest when we will use both of them
ODBC works with "rectangular" or 2D data. If you have spatial data, you will need to use the native Oracle client. Our DBA also says Oracle ODBC has to convert data types while a native client would be "apples to apples".
If you have a Crystal Server accessing an Oracle database, use the native Oracle client. On your workstation, also run the same client whether ODBC or Native as the server.
