Hen,

OO does work with Postgresql, you need just the odbc-lib for postgres. See attached an excerpt from my $HOME/.odbc.ini:

[konteneuro]
Driver=/usr/lib/libpsqlodbc.so
Database=konteneuro
Servername=localhost
Port=5432
ReadOnly = 0

In Data Sources in OO select ODBC and select then the proper database name.

Cheers,
Klaus
