    Hi everyone,

    Anyone have success in accessing a postgreSQL db over a 2008 SQL linked server? I've been successful in accessing the postgreSQL db over a 2005 SQL linked server, using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers as the linked server Provider. I've tried every Provider I can locate in the 2008 linked server without success. I'm assuming the problem is the linked server Provider. Thanks to everyone for being there to help.

    I'm guessing that the issue has to do with your SQL2008 being 64 bit, and thus requires 64 bit postgres drivers.

    take a look at this article:
