Hi,

we need access with Microsoft SQL Server Tools (namly Analysis Server) to our Bizgres (http://www.bizgres.org, Postgres variant for data warehousing). While Adding a new data source I get the following error:

Tested with newst 2.50 Build and 3.00 Beta 2.

What can we do?

===================================

syntax error at or near "[" (Microsoft Visual Studio)

Send us small test project to reproduce the problem.
It is desirable to use 'test' schema objects, otherwise include definition of your own database objects.
Use e-mail address provided in the Readme file.
Do not use third party components.

We've encountered the same problem with both drivers listed above.

After connecting successfully to a PostgreSQL instance from MS SQL Analysis Services (SSAS) SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio when selecting tables (new data source view in SSAS) the app/driver ended up quoting all identifiers in brackets [] (Old SQL Server syntax) instead of the standard doublequotes “”. So queries looked like SELECT * FROM [public].[mytable], and get a syntax error from the system.

Is it possible the driver was setup incorrectly?

To reproduce would require downloading MS SQL Server 2005 Standard Trial & installing the client tool SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio Trial.

Create new SSAS 'Project' within SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio using PostgreSQLDirect .NET & define connection to PostgreSQL server (test schema --> table test (a int) <-- 1)
Create new 'Data Source', select any test table , click 'Finish'. Error should present.

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce any error. Make sure you are using released version. Also your steps are unclear, because creating data source process doesn't allow to select any tables. Please advise.
