The cause is that PostgreSQL returns NUMERIC type as sum(int). adUseClient for CursorLocation property indicates ADO to use Microsoft Cursor Service for OLE DB. Microsoft Cursor service seems to think that sum(rank) is of type int but PostgreSQL returns NUMERIC type. I don't know what should be done here. Please change sum(rank) -> sum(rank)::int and try. regards, Hiroshi Inoue ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
