Hmmm. There should be no problems with the ODBC driver in that sense - I
often query 10s of thousands of records in the pgAdmin grid. I suspect there
is one (or more) particular record in your table that it doesn't like and
when you deleted most of the records you deleted those and left good ones.
Could there be any non UK/US chars in your data, or any non-printables?

Also, I assume all is OK with other large tables in your database? Perhaps
you could write a quick script to populate a test table with a few 10s of
thousands or rows for testing purposes.

Regards, Dave.
