Re: MSAccess to postgres on Windows Currency type problem

Thanks Harun,

I could csv-export the table correctly, so no corruption apparently. I found
a registry key called "LocksPerPage" that belongs to MS Office, after
increasing it I was able to translate MSAcces Currency type to Integer
successfully. Exporting through ODBC right after that was also successful.
However that doesn't ring me a bell on how one can automagically export an
MSAccess table through postgres odbc when having a column with Currency data
type.

Thanks Richard for your suggestion.

Albert
