The driver does expose the timezone offset. It converts the value to the client’s timezone (session TimeZone setting) and sends it as a naive timestamp. This is a common source of data corruption in global applications.

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) remains a cornerstone of enterprise data access, providing a language-independent, platform-independent API for connecting to database management systems. For PostgreSQL, the psqlODBC driver serves as this critical bridge, enabling legacy applications (e.g., Microsoft Access, Excel, FileMaker), BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Qlik), and custom software written in languages like C#, C++, or Python (via pyodbc ) to interact with a PostgreSQL backend.
This piece explores the driver’s architecture, protocol mapping, configuration nuances, performance characteristics, and modern limitations.
On Windows, these are distributed as separate DLLs:
