Hello.

I am having a couple of problems. One is that when I attempt to link SOME 
tables to access I get an error messages about an index containing a non 
existing field (an empty string). The other is that when I attempt to link 
a view as a table I get the following error.

ERROR: system column xmin not available - vievname is a view (#1)

I strongly suspect that the first error is due to the fact that I changed 
the NAMEDATALEN in the source when I compiled postgres. I suspect that the 
ODBC driver is not expecting a large string and is getting one. Could the 
second problem be related? Also is it possible to compile the ODBC drivers 
with a similar DEFINE?

Right now the NAMEDATALEN is set to 64. Although this is still small 
compared to access It's a more sane option then 32 for me.
