Has anyone used PostgreSQL with Datacard ID Works version 5? We tested
version 4 successfully, but version 5 uses OLEDB, and we haven't found
a setup which works. We've tried both the OLEDB driver, version 1, and
the Microsoft OLEDB->ODBC bridge with the latest ODBC driver.

The design application connects and works fine. We get a execution
exception when starting up the production application. I know, that
means that Datacard has a bug, but we're hoping there's a known
workaround, while we're waiting for Datacard Tech Support to get back
to us.

A followup, if anyone cares :-)

Datacard claimed it was an ODBC bug, but the bug report they pointed
to was fixed in the release we're using. However, they told us to try
the latest version, Datacard 6, and that appears to work fine.

We've been told that Microsoft will not support the OLEDB->ODBC bridge
in future releases, so I hope that further work is done on the OLEDB
provider.
