[fdo-users] Map3D 2011: PostgreSQL/Postgis provider connection problems

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Brent,

With "other tools" I did not mean other Autodesk tools, but pgadmin3, 
one of the graphical Postgres database clients. Pgadmin3 has different 
input widgets for each of the parameters.

Maybe the Topobase2011 beta version has an earlier FDO PostgreSQL driver 
than the official Map3D 2011 release? Can I check the versions somehow?

Thanks,
Andreas
