This looks a bit like the problem that I raised a few weeks ago.

It seems that either ODBC or MSAccess or (more likely) VB knows a way to
insert records containing nothing but nulls.

I changed my DDL to make the unique (sequence-based) keys on the tables
involved "not null". This sees to have stopped the inserts but has not
caused any error messages.

The database is only acessed via VB and Access. There is no user use of
psql.

Cheers,
Stephen Davies
