This generally is not a good idea. There are several syntax structures here which will give PostgreSQL trouble.
Suchas:
INNER JOIN - syntax not supported yet
[puntos]*[cantidad] - PostgreSQL uses double quote as identified delimiters.
If you wish to continue down this path let me suggest a few items.
1. set the query property to "snapshot"
2. activate the CommLog in the driver.
3. cut your statements out of the CommLog.
The MS Jet and the ODBC driver, PostgreSQL'ify them before they get to the server.
Hope this helps.
