Connecting

I have built a database in Postgresql version 8.0. I want to connect it
to Delphi version 4.

I have attempted to connect using the Postgresql ODBC with no success.

Is what I am attempting to do possible considering that Postrgresql
version is a lot newer than Delphi?

Make sure the odbc part works before including delphi in the mix.

See

(this is using a slightly older version of postgres but the steps should
be the same).

I'd try zeoslib (http://forum.zeoslib.net.ms/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/zeoslib/) instead of ODBC. The 6.1.5 version (with patches) works with Delphi 4 and always worked well for me.

If it is possible, can someone point me to a tutorial that can guide me through the steps. I am new to interspecies connections?

Is there a better method of making this comnnection?
