You could try hacking the source code of the PG ODBC driver. I note
this in pgtypes.c:
/* Change this to SQL_BIGINT for ODBC v3 bjm 2001-01-23 */
case PG_TYPE_INT8:
return SQL_CHAR;
Don't know whether DTS will actually recognize SQL_BIGINT, but it's
worth a try. SQL_NUMERIC could be worth trying too, if BIGINT fails.
