Title: Framework Manager and Postgres database
Post by: trevorp on 16 Jan 2010 04:45:04 PM
Hi

Just about to start working on using Framework Manager and Cognos against a Postgres Database. As there is no specific Postgres connection in Cognos (will use ODBC) could anyone advise what function set works.

Also, if anyone else uses Postgres are there any "features" that one should be aware of.

Hi,

I guess you will be limited to the Cognos function set within the Studio UIs.  Depending on the ODBC, you may be able to use database functions in FM - perhaps building them into standalone calculations that the authors can drag in where required.  Sorry to be vague - I've not connected to Postgres before.
