Integrating Visual Basic Coding with PostgreSQL

If you are looking to integrate visual basic coding with postgreSQL, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will guide you through the process of installing the necessary components and setting up the connection between visual basic and postgreSQL.

Before we begin, please make sure you have the ODBC exe file attached in this article downloaded and ready to install.

The first step in integrating visual basic with postgreSQL is to install the ODBC exe file. This file is necessary for establishing the connection between the two systems.

To install the ODBC exe file, simply double-click on the downloaded file and follow the installation prompts. Once the installation is complete, you can move on to the next step.

After the ODBC installation is complete, you will need to create a new connection in your system. To do this, search for "odbc" in your system and open the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

Make sure you open the 64-bit version of ODBC Data Sources.

In the ODBC Data Source Administrator, click on the "System DSN" tab and then click on the "Add" button. This will open a new window where you can select the type of data source you want to create.

From the list of available data sources, choose "PostgreSQL ANSI ODBC" and click "Finish". This will open a new window where you can configure your connection.

In the new window, you will need to enter the necessary information to establish the connection between visual basic and postgreSQL. This includes the Datasource, Database, Server, Username, Port, and Password.

The Datasource will be automatically generated and should match the DNS on your excel. The Database, Server, Username, Port, and Password will be provided to you by the Freshtrack Team and should be kept private.

Once you have entered all the necessary information, click on "Test Connection" to ensure that the connection is successful. If everything is working correctly, you will receive a message confirming the successful connection.

Now that the connection between visual basic and postgreSQL is established, you can start using visual basic to work with your postgreSQL database. Simply make sure that your excel configuration matches the connection you have created and you are good to go.

If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please reach out to the Freshtrack Team for assistance. We are here to help you make the most out of your integration between visual basic and postgreSQL.

Congratulations, you have successfully integrated visual basic coding with postgreSQL.
