[Lazarus] Connecting to a Postgres Database

[Dave Coventry]

Hi.

I don't HAVE a windows postgres installation.

Do you have copies of the files? The best I could do was to was a
libpq.dll from v7.0.

Why are they needed, anyway? I don't see any mention of their
requirement in the wiki(s).

I'm not actually convinced that this is the problem; how do I test to
see if the Ubuntu server is allowing Postgres transactions?

Many thanks,

Dave Coventry
