problem with the 'date' data type and msaccess95 :( - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hello,

I've looked around a bit and I'm not sure if it has been asked before, but
I am using posgreSQL 6.3.2 and the ODBC driver postODBC 2.10.0004 and
microsoft access 95.

I transferred all my tables into the Sql server, and all is okay except
that access does not handel the date type for some reason.  I create a
table like follows:

CREATE TABLE tbldate (date date);

Then insert a record:

INSERT INTO tbldate (date) VALUES ('11/10/1998');

then a select returns:

SELECT * from tbldate;

11-10-1998


For some reason, when I import that table "link" into Msaccess, it sees it
as a date but will display "#Name?" in the table, and create an error
message "ODBC--call failed"  Is this a know incompatibility between access
and postgreSql?  I would really rather user another front end system than
access, but I'm stuck with it :(

Thanks in advance!
