Description of problem:
To get PostgreSQL to work with unixODBC, I had to modify my /etc/odbcinst.ini:
[PostgreSQL]
Description	= ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver		= /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so.1
Setup		= /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so.1

This differs from most documentation on the web that state that
/etc/odbcinst.ini should look more like this:
[PostgreSQL]
Description	= ODBC for PostgreSQL
Driver		= /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so
Setup		= /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so

I also found out that I had to leave /etc/odbc.ini empty but that the .odbc.ini
should be filled in to something like this:
[ODBC Data Sources]
TEMPLATE1 = Template Database
 
[TEMPLATE1]
Database = template1
Servername = localhost
Debug = 1
CommLog = 1
ReadOnly = 0
Port = 5432
Driver = PostgreSQL


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Hi,

You have to install the  unixODBC-devel  package as well.   
If you do this you don't have to specify the ".1"s.


W.r.t. you .odb.ini file it seems to be working as expected.  
You must create a data source for the database you want to
connect to (as with any ODBC).  There are graphical tools 
to help you do that.  Have you checked the html documentation
that is installed in /usr/share/doc/unixODBC-2.2.3/doc ?

Regards,
