What kinds of indexes do you have on your tables? I think the way
Access works to limit transfer it first pulls the indexes and probably
the primary one first to determine how to fetch and how many to fetch.
I suspect if you have no indexes performance would be really bad.
Also which version of psqlODBC driver are you using?

Subject: [ODBC] Improve ODBC Throughput ?
Hi list !
I mostly use my PostgreSQL as a backend DB with Access2000 frontends.
The tables are linked via psqlODBC.
The problem I have is that even though queries / views run very fast,
the data take a long time to arrive to the client.
In the best situations, data is sent/received at ~500kB per second (for
instance, tables with only one column, which is a very large text field
>10.000 bytes per field).
In bad situations, I am at ~50kB per second.
If the queries / views return large resultsets, it can seconds for the
table to open., even though the query ran in milliseconds on the server
(explain analyze proves this).
What can I do to improve this throughput ? Either on the server side, or
on the ODBC client side ?
As a side note : network congestion, server acitvity is not a good
explanation. This server also is a file server, and I transfer files at
10MB per second all the time.
Thanks for your advices !
