Mike:
This doesn't address the ODBC part of the inquiry. I was actually going
to respond saying I wasn't aware of an ODBC driver for PostgreSQL
(though I'd be surprised if there wasn't one).
Using the psycopg2 module, which is my preferred PostgreSQL interface
module, it's easy to answer:
>>> curs = conn.cursor()
>>> import psycopg2 as db
>>> conn = db.connect(database="pycon", user="username",
password="password", host="localhost", port=5432)
>>> curs = conn.cursor()
>>> curs.execute("SELECT orgid, orgname FROM organization")
>>> from pprint import pprint # just for neatness
>>> pprint(curs.fetchall())
[(1, 'AB Strakt'),
(79, 'DevIS'),
...
(113, 'Test Organization'),
(19, 'Holden Web LLC')]
