RE: [INTERFACES] MsAccess and ODBC Postgres: table structure modi fication

The data structure of linked tables in Access is read-only. You can query,
modify, and add data to a linked table, but that is all. And you can only
modify if a primary key has been identified by Access, or specified by you
on request from Access when you link the table.

If you need to modify the structure of a table, you have to use the native
tools, or something like ERWin, and then delete and re-link the table in
Access.
