PostgreSQL ODBC

I connect to a PostgreSQL data warehouse via a 32-bit ODBC connection.  I have a query to pulls sales transactions data from table. I normally pull data for a whole month. When running this query for a particular month, it fails and I get a general "can't connect..." message.  I can run one week at a time and then put the 4 files together.  Is there some kind of row limit or file size limit with the ODBC driver.   I can run the same SQL query using another platform and it runs the full month fine.  I'm only talking about 850K rows - so it's not huge.

 

Thanks

Hi @buddy_jones ,

 

How long does the query run before you get this issue? Is it possible that a timeout has been set by the company DBA? And that for this one month you run into that issue when querying?

 

Also, did you try running the In-DB connectors instead? Your performance should improve there.

 

Regards,
Tom
