I missed the start of the thread but I've been using PostgreSQL and Pharo for quite a while on Windows XP (both PostgreSQL & Pharo). So far, Pharo is rock-solid with ODBC, at least on WinXP !

Subject: [Pharo-project] PostgresSQL - ODBC

Hello all,

I have been successful in using unixODBC and a Postgres driver to communicate with what I believe is an encrypting server (at least according to pgadmin). I did lots of things, such as building the driver from source, that might have been critical, but I strongly suspect that the key to success was simply using ServerName in place of Server in .odbc.ini.

FWIW.
