[GENERAL] Write to postgreSQL via ODBC?

2001-02-05 Thread Rudolf Potucek

I've got the postgres ODBC driver installed and can connect to it from 
MS Excel 97. However it seems I can only execute queries (read data) but 
not save data. Is that a limitation of Excel or of the ODBC approach?

I did. I subsequently tried this with Access and I can actually create 
new tables that way ... now I just have to figure out how to do an UPDATE 
instead ...
