	Connect to an existing Postgres database by Bauke :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello, Like so many others I found out about Glom while looking for a decent report generator for Linux. On Windows I worked with FileMaker a while and Glom made me very interested. Only... I have an existing Postgres database wich I cannot connect to with Glom. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Can anybody explain the way it should be done? Thanks in advance Bauke

Do you mean a) An existing PostgreSQL server to which you would like to add a Glom database, or b) An existing PostgreSQL database that you would like to view and edit via Glom. If you mean a), then this depends how your PostgreSQL server is configured. This might help: http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Initial_Postgres_Configuration If you mean b), well that's not a main supported feature of Glom, though it's sometimes possible with some tricks. Glom is not a report generator for existing databases. -- murrayc@... www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ glom-devel-list mailing list glom-devel-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/glom-devel-list
