Driver=PostgreSQL Unicode;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;Database=mydb;Uid=postgres;Pwd=secret; Installing the PostgreSQL ODBC driver on Windows 7 requires using a compatible older version (16.x or earlier) and paying attention to 32-bit vs 64-bit needs. While Windows 7 is outdated, this setup still works perfectly for legacy analytics, reporting, or ETL tasks.
