Hello,

This is what I use:

[PSQL]
Description = CAPS
Driver= PostgreSQL

well, I asked this question in the FreeTDS mailinglist since it is FreeTDS specifc. You are using the PostgreSQL driver here and this implements its own way to handle userids and passwords.

http://www.freetds.org/userguide/odbcconnattr.htm describes UID and PWD as "attributes used only in connection strings" and not as "attributes that may appear in odbc.ini". But why is it like that?

Kind regards
Marten
