Hi, Does anybody know of any issues with Mac OS 9.x and either AppleWorks or Excel and ODBC access to a Postgres backend? I have a client who needs to print labels and who has AppleWorks. Cheers Tony Grant -- RedHat Linux on Sony Vaio C1XD/S http://www.animaproductions.com/linux2.html

[GENERAL] PostgresSQL 7.1 and ODBC/MSAccess

2001-05-21 Thread Scott Gilbert
I have a problem with PostgresSQL 7.1 and Micro$oft Windoze ODBC and MS Access 2000 which I am hoping someone here might be able to help me with. When I try to link MS Access to a PostgresSQL 7.1 table, Access is unable to see any of the tables in the database so I cannot select a table to link.

Greets, I'm trying to get my head around what the benefits to inheritance are. Is the data duplicated or just referenced in the parent table? If it's duplicated then the database size and bloat are an issue for me. Another question I have is that say I have a parent

this is logical flaw in PostgreSQL's psql include file (input.h). I wrote, but have been told it was ok, and nobody wanted to change it. Personally i patch every version of PostgreSQL by hand to get readline edit mode working. Yeah, that sucks... On Mon, May 21, 2001 at 10:32:37AM -0400, Frank
