Dear Slingshot! Database users,

I have created a user survey in the hopes of improving the plug-in and determining new development possibilities.

User Survey

Please take a moment and fill it out!

Best,

Something that may be of help to everyone:  http://www.connectionstrings.com

While I have provided a few connection components, they may not be appropriate for all cases.  ConnectionStrings.com is a great resource for finding the correct means of connecting to a remote database.

Pedro, I looked into your issue further and I am able to replicate the error if the connection string is incorrect.  Make sure you specify the database name you are connecting to.

Additionally, some SQL queries supported in MySQL are not supported in Postgres or there may be slight differences in syntax... for example "SHOW databases;" is not supported in Postgres.

I will take another look at the ODBC driver tonight to see if I can replicate your error.  It seems to be working fine with my install of Postgres which makes me think that your DB configuration may be a little different.

Apparently all settings seem to be fine. Server is running on localhost, default port. Databases already loaded and ODBC drivers updated. The only problem is accessing them via grasshopper. I've managed to establish connection to a mysql server, but no success with postgres.

Pedro, You may to need to verify your Server IP and Port.  Are you accessing the Postgres server though localhost or is this for remote access?

hello,

I'm trying to use slingshot's latest version with Postgres, and somehow when i try to connect it, it always returns the same message:

{0}
0. System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Does any1 know how to solve this problem?
