PostgreSQL and Access (via ODBC)

Hello.

... so I installed the ODBC driver in windows, opened Access, imported
data via ODBC ...

I was able to view the tables and data, but cannot edit/add to the tables.

The read-only option is UNchecked.

According to my postgres logs:

ERROR: msysconf: Table does not exist.

What table is this?

This error is also seen in my windows logs:

ERROR from backend during send_query: 'ERROR: msysconf: Table does not
exist.'

TIA.

Re: PostgreSQL and Access (via ODBC)

When importing in Access, it would have prompted you to select a unique
ID for each table, did you assign this ?

Im pretty new to this, so please bear with me :)

if unique id ~= create unique index myindex on table (field)

then yes ...

if not, how do you assign a unique id?

TIA again.

Re: PostgreSQL and Access (via ODBC)

Within Access, click file, get external data, link tables,

choose ODBC, select the postres driver,

select the DSN,

this will bring up a window to select tables from the db,

highlight the tables, click ok,

at this stage if a unique ID was not set in the postgre table a window will
appear to choose a unique id,
if Access does not get this you will not be able to add or update any
records.

Hope this helps,

Sean
