BTW, this assumes that the name of your ODBC data source is "PostgreSQL".
You may need to change "PostgreSQL" to the name of your ODBC data source for
your PostgreSQL database. Also, I use a trusted connection so no password
is required. You can hard code a user name and password rather than using
the user name of the current user (this script shows you how to get the
current connected user). I would recommend hard coding the user name if you
are NOT using Access97 security.

Here is a function written in Access (VB) that will execute a
vacuum. Thisshould also show you how to execute other Postgres commands or
functions youhave created in Postgres: All you need to do is change "vacuum" to
anythingyou want to call in Postgres.
Public Sub si_vacuum() Dim wrk As Workspace Dim usrname As String Set wrk = DBEngine.Workspaces(0) usrname =
wrk.UserName Set gWrkODBC = CreateWorkspace("ODBCWorkspace", "postgres", "",dbUseODBC) Workspaces.Append gWrkODBC
SetgConODBC = gWrkODBC.OpenConnection("SI_ODBC", , False,"ODBC;DSN=PostgreSQL;UID=" & usrname & ";PWD=;")
gConODBC.Execute"vacuum;" gConODBC.Close gWrkODBC.Close Set gWrkODBC = Nothing Set gConODBC = Nothing Set
wrk= NothingEnd Sub

i had the same problem, but i use MS Access 97 as an
interface.Could somebody tell us on what procedures to embark (or
script/code) justto manipulate (add/delete/vacuum/create...) the database at the
backend server. I tried to searc the net about this but i didn't
got theinfo. Thanks in advance.
