About:
psqlodbc is the official open-source ODBC driver for PostgreSQL, enabling seamless connectivity between ODBC-compliant applications and PostgreSQL databases. It implements the ODBC API specification to provide robust data access and management capabilities. This driver is essential for integrating PostgreSQL with various business intelligence, reporting, and application development tools.
Key Features:
  • Full ODBC API compliance
  • Support for PostgreSQL-specific data types
  • SSL/TLS encryption support
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Prepared statements and transaction management
Use Cases:
  • Connecting BI tools like Tableau or Excel to PostgreSQL databases
  • Enabling legacy ODBC applications to work with modern PostgreSQL
  • Data migration and ETL processes requiring ODBC connectivity
  • Enterprise application integration with PostgreSQL backends
Alternatives:
  • unixODBC – Provides ODBC driver manager and some generic drivers, but psqlodbc is the official PostgreSQL-specific driver
  • libpq – PostgreSQL's native C API library, requires custom code vs ODBC's standardized interface
