Installing vPostgres Client Tools
You can install the vPostgres Client Tools on Windows or Linux systems. The package includes drivers
customized for vPostgres. You can install only the base package, or install the development RPMs as well.
Add an x86 vPostgres ODBC Data Source on Windows
If you install both the x86 and the 64-bit vPostgres client tools on the same 64-bit Windows system, you must
explicitly add an x86 ODBC data source.
Prerequisites
Install the x86 and the 64-bit vPostgres client tools.
Procedure
1 In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.
2 Double-click Odbcad32.exe.
3 Select the System DNS tab and click Add.
4 Click the VMware vPosgres PostgreSQL Unicode 32bit data source.
5 Click Finish.
Using vPostgres libpq with Your Application
If you want to use an existing Postgres application with vPostgres, you can relink the application.
Prerequisites
Install the vPostgres client tools. You do not have to install the development RPMs if you relink.
Because our libpq.so is dynamically linked with libssl, the static ld linker doesn't recognize the rpath of
$ORIGIN. Therefore, it is important to specify the rpath when building. See the Linux example in the table
below for the correct syntax.
