Using ADO in VBA to connect to PostgreSQL

Question

I am having trouble finding clear and reliable examples of connecting to a PostgreSQL database from Excel using VBA ADO. Admittedly, I am new to VBA and most examples and tutori

Answer 1

In the original Code, "PostgreSQL35W" is a DSN name which included the default host and port. When you changed to "PostgreSQL Unicode", it is a driver and your connection string is lacking the value for the port. Remember to access PostgreSQL directly from driver, you need at least 5 parameters:

• host
• port
• userid
• password
• database

If you are using DSN, some parameters may be defined as default.
