I don't recall but I think that PgAccess version 0.90 is not able to add
new fields to a table or modify existing ones.
The last version is able to do that with a few restrictions :
- it can add new columns to a table
- it can only rename an existing column
Changing the column type isn't a simpe operation. Try dumping the table
, change the field type and realoading it. In some cases it might work.
Upgrading to PgAccess 0.96 will be a pain for you because it needs
PostgreSQL 6.4.2 due to some changes inside libpgtcl library.
But you should try it. At http://www.flex.ro/pgaccess you will find some
patchese that you have to make in order to try running it on 6.4.2
Upgrading your postgresql to 6.4.2 will be a *GREAT* beneffit for you.
It's a good, fine release.
