<h1>psqlODBC HOWTO - Business Objects</h1>

<p>

<i>
Author: Peter S. Hamlen (phamlen@@teachforamerica.org)<br>
Release Date: 26 May 2003<br>
Description: PostgreSQL and Business Objects
</i>
<br><br>
Will Postgresql ODBC work with Business Objects?
<br><br>
Yes, with three caveats:

<br>
<ol>
<li>Technically, Business Objects does not support PostgreSQL.  They do
support generic ODBC access to databases, however.<br>&nbsp;</li>

<li>You must change the ODBC parameter file on any machine that uses
Designer.  The ODBC file is usually <i>C:\Program Files\Business
Objects\Data Access X.X\ODBC\ODBC10EN.PRM</i>.  You must change the OWNER
parameter to N and the QUALIFIER parameter to N (ie, OWNER=N,
QUALIFIER=N).<br><br>
     NOTE:  It is only necessary to change this file for people who use
Designer.  BusinessObjects, WebIntelligence, and all other BO programs
that use existing Universes are unaffected.<br>&nbsp;</li>

<li>As with all other generic ODBC connections, you cannot do outer
joins in Designer.<br>&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

</p>

<p>Mart&iacute;n de la Herr&aacute;n also adds the following notes:</p>

<p>Also add the following parameters to C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Data Access X.X\ODBC\ODBC10EN.PRM<br><br>

BACK_QUOTE_SUPPORTED=Y<br>
TABLE_DELIMITER="<br><br>

These parameters are necessary to use tables with spaces and unusual chararacters in them.
