1) do not use nullable booleans on the pg tables.  the MS Jet engine
sees null booleans as false.  This makes rows with null booleans not
update-able.
2) When ever possible, perform all large joins on the server not in
the MS-Query editor.
3) SELELT * FROM LargeTable; can be slow, so try to include Where
Clauses when ever possible to limit result set;
