[gdal-dev] can not connect top postgis db using GDAL

[Clay, Bruce]

I can not connect to a posgresql/postgis database using GDAL.  I have
verified that the PostgreSql drivers are in the DLL by calling ogrinfo
-formats.

PostgreSql is on the list

 

From c++ code I try the following:

 

strcat(connectBuf, "PG:\"dbname='postgis' host='<ip address' port='5432'
user='postgres' password='<pwd>'\"");

*dataSource = OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open(connectBuf, FALSE)

 

*dataDouce always comes back NULL

 

 

I tried ogrinfo -ro PG:host=<ip address> user=postgis password=<pwd>
dbname=postgis based on rhw online examples and I get an error message
indicating no password was supplied.

 

I can connect to the remote host usin pgAdminIII so I know the systems
can talk to each other.

 

Does anyone see what I might be doing wrong?  

 

 

Bruce
