Linking a Postgres table on Linux to Ms Access

Hi all,

Is there any way that I can synchronize a table in Postgres on Linux with
another table in Ms Access?

The requirement of the assignment is as following:

In postgres, there is a table called message_received. Whenever we insert,
update or edit this table, the table in Ms Access should also be updated.

Advices and suggestions are all welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks

go in the other direction... Convert your table in MS Access to use a
pass-through query to the postgreSQL table. Connect yoour MS Access pass
through table to postgreSQL using OBBC.

Even better: Drop MS Access completely and just use postgreSQL. Access is a
totally inferior technology.

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Not for a front end it isn't :)

Link Table is what this guy is looking for.

DBLink contrib used for replication

hello all,
I like to know what you think about using dblink to construct serious syncronous and asyncronous replication.
I'm work with this idea only for test and think this is possible or almost possible because I don't know the performance for long distances but in the same network, like inside one company, the performance is good.

thanks for advanced,

I think it'd be a lot of work and at the end of the day you'd pretty
much have reinvented Slony-I ... why not just use slony?
