Re: URL Type
My interpretation would be that if the
consumer of the data wants to display
it as a hyperlink, fine, but that that
is the job of the application not the
database
But MS Access is _both_, remember? The question
came up when migrating from Access talking to
its own local Jet database to Access talking
to pgsql via odbc. I'm not sure there is a
way to tell Access to consider a particular
text field in a remote ODBC data source to
be a hyperlink...

I don't think there is... unless you create a saved query and have a
calculated field that takes the ODBC data and typecasts it to the
hypertext datatype, if such a thing is possible.
