I've run across a consistent problem with M$oft Access, psqlodbc.dll, and Postgres. If I try to do an insert query from an Access table to a Postgres table, Access 97 crashes IF that insert includes any memo fields (appending to a varchar field, in my case). Access 2000 doesn't crash, but it doesn't append anything, either. For the record, I'm using PostgreSQL 7.1 on Red Hat 7.0 (using the RPMs from Sourceforge's PostgreSQL mirror), and the latest version of psqlodbc (004). But the same problem occurred with PostgreSQL 7.0, and with earlier version of psqlodbc. I CAN work around this by inserting everything EXCEPT for the memo fields, then updating the destination fields using code (ODBC workspace and ODBC connection's Execute method), but it does concern me a bit. Am I doing something wrong here? I wonder because I haven't seen this problem mentioned in my Google and Postgresql.org searches. Or is this so well-known that everyone already knows the workaround, so it's not considered newsworthy? Is this a general issue with Access and ODBC, rather than specifically with psqlodbc? Inquiring minds like mine want to know.
