1. Replication again

   Chris M. Gamble <chris.gamble@cpbinc.com> — 2003-10-27T16:10:02Z

   Does anyone know a good commercial application that does multi-master replication for postgres?
   
   Thanks
   
   

2. PostgreSQL with MS Query?

   Grant Rutherford <grutherford@iders.ca> — 2003-10-27T16:30:41Z

   Hi there,
   
   I'm trying to access my postgreSQL database using Excel (through MS 
   Query).  I've been reading a bit about ODBC and I'm pretty sure that 
   this is required.  Is there a way to see if this is set up already?  Am 
   I on the right track?  The database server is running redhat linux.
   
   Any help would be appreciated...
   Thanks,
   Grant

   Hello,
   
     Yes ODBC will be required and unless you have installed it is not 
   configured. You can go
   here:
   
      http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php
   
      For the OpenSource/Free version or here:
   
      http://www.commandprompt.com/
   
      For a commercial (with more features) version.
   
   Sincerely,
   
   Joshua D. Drake

   No, but if you find one, please tell me.
   
   What is it you're trying to do exactly?  Multi-master replication is
   typically very difficult, prone to lock up, and usually _very_
   expensive.  But there are probably some tricks to accomplish some
   kinds of tasks if you want them to be done.
