Re: Cannot update PGSQL databes via ODBC

One possible cause of this is not having a unique index or
primary key defined on the table which requires updating. To be able
to insert/update/delete there'll need to be at least one of the above.

And threats to go to Access are ultimately only going to hurt yourself :)
