What to do next
If you install both the x86 and the 64-bit vFabric Postgres client tools on a 64-bit Windows system, see “Add
an x86 vFabric Postgres ODBC Data Source on Windows,” on page 22.
If you are developing a custom application, relink with libpq. See “Relink Your Application with vFabric
Postgres libpq,” on page 22.
Add an x86 vFabric Postgres ODBC Data Source on Windows
If you install both the x86 and the 64-bit vFabric Postgres 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 vFabric Postgres 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 Select the VMware vFabric Postgres Unicode 32-bit data source.
5 Click Finish.
Relink Your Application with vFabric Postgres libpq
If you want to use an existing PostgreSQL application with vFabric Postgres, you can relink the application.
Because vFabric Postgres libpq.so is dynamically linked with libssl, the static ld linker does not recognize
the rpath of $ORIGIN. You can relink to specify the rpath.
Prerequisites
Install the vFabric Postgres client tools. You can relink without installing the development RPMs.
