Connect and interact with PostgreSQL databases using the Open Database Connectivity
ODBC Driver for PostgreSQL is a software component that enables applications to connect and interact with PostgreSQL databases using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface. ODBC is a widely used interface for database access, which allows applications to interact with different databases using a standard set of API functions.
The ODBC Driver for PostgreSQL is typically installed on a client machine and provides a bridge between the application and the PostgreSQL database server. It supports various features such as Unicode, SSL encryption, and connection pooling. By using the ODBC Driver for PostgreSQL, applications can use a common set of API functions to access data stored in PostgreSQL databases, regardless of the underlying operating system or programming language.
ODBC Driver for PostgreSQL is available for various platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. It can be downloaded from various sources, including the PostgreSQL website, and is often included in the PostgreSQL installation package.
