Hi there, I am having some difficulties with using arrays in pgaccess 
relating to arrays.

Here is an example schema:

CREATE TABLE arraykeys (
    akID int,
    akName varchar(12),
    PRIMARY KEY(akID)
);

CREATE TABLE items (
    itID serial,
    itProperties bool[],
    PRIMARY KEY(itID)
);

--.. And some Data

INSERT INTO arraykeys VALUES (1,'Active');
INSERT INTO arraykeys VALUES (2,'Overdue');
INSERT INTO arraykeys VALUES (3,'Local');

INSERT INTO items (itProperties) VALUES ( '{1,0,1}');
INSERT INTO items (itProperties) VALUES ( '{0,1,1}');



--.. And now the query that I am having problems with.

SELECT itID, itProperties[akID], akName
FROM items, arraykeys;



In the readline client psql, the above select statement works perfectly
scratch-# FROM items, arraykeys;
  itid | itproperties | akname
------+--------------+---------
     1 | t            | Active
     1 | f            | Overdue
     1 | t            | Local
     2 | f            | Active
     2 | t            | Overdue
     2 | t            | Local
(6 rows)


However

In pgaccess,
when I try to execute the same query in query builder,
I get the tcl error dialogue:
Error: invalid command name "akID"


Is there an alternate way indexing arrays in queries that I should be 
using?
Or is pgaccess just not suitable for this class of queries!
