Subject: bug: Access sees money types incorrectly
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 13:53:56 -0700
Message-ID: <377A83E4.CA8D0105@petstore.com> (raw)

When I link a postgreSQL table into MS Access, Access sees data of type
'Money' as type 'Number' rather than as 'Currency'.  This is visible if
you pull up the design view for a linked table.  As a result of this
mismapping, any attempt to use Access to update records in the table
results in an error.


   * PostgreSQL ODBC driver version 6.40.0006
   * PostgreSQL database version 6.4
   * Access error message upon update attempt :

    ERROR: There is more than one possible operator '=' for types
'money' and 'float8'.  You will have to retype this query using an
explict cast
    (which is impossible as the query is generated by Access.)

   * commlog file attached - I have removed the server, port, dbase,
     user, and passwd for security purposes - sorry, but these should
     not be important bits of info.
