I successfully installed the PostgreSQL ODBC driver, and got Access to link to a table as external data.
It took me a while to figure out what the proper parameters might be in configuring the ODBC
in the control panel in Administrative Tools, and then to fill in the proper fields in Access when defining the external data linked table.
In Administrative Tools, ODBC, the Database name is the database I created in Postgresql, which I called lantimes. The Server was a REAL MYSTERY, until I read something in google which suggested that it should be localhost.
I was in despair for a while, until I saw it suddenly work.
Another problem I encountered, in the two tables I created in pgAdmin III , involves two different numeric fields, where I get the message from Access "Field is of type MONEY but expression is double precision." The field was defined in the sql statement in PostgreSQL as MONEY. I was simply copying an exercise from a SQL primer. Should I not use MONEY in defining such fields to be used with ACCESS? Is there a different TYPE that I should use in my definition? Thanks!
By the way, what would you suggest as a tool to administer the PostgreSQL databases. I mean, something sort of graphical which would display tables and names and relationships.
