You can use either the ANSI 32-bit driver or the Unicode® ODBC driver. If using the ODBC connection for spatial data, use the Unicode® ODBC driver.

The driver does not support certain available JSONb query operators (?,?|,?&). For more information, see the PostgreSQL documentation.

Due to PostgreSQL database limitations, only two tables can be combined with the Union In-DB Tool that contain completely different column names. Three or more tables will produce an error.

To configure the PosgreSQL Bulk connection for writing data, please see the Configure PosgreSQL Bulk Connection for Writing Data article.
