Re: Views and Access 2000 - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

<p><font size="2">Hi,</font><br /><font size="2">    a quick example should clarify:</font><br /><font size="2">CREATE
TABLEtbl_a (pk serial,t text,a int4,PRIMARY KEY (pk));</font><br /><font size="2">CREATE VIEW vw_a SELECT pk,t FROM
tbl_a;</font><br/><font size="2">To do the equivalent view you would:</font><br /><font size="2">CREATE TABLE vw_a (pk
int4,ttext,PRIMARY KEY (pk));</font><br /><font size="2">CREATE RULE "_RETvw_a" AS ON SELECT TO vw_a DO INSTEAD SELECT
pk,tFROM tbl_a;</font><br /><font size="2">This is untested, but something like this should work</font><br /><font

justto clarify (sorry I'm a bit new to all this). With the view I've got, do I create a table that is exactly the same
asthe view, but with no data in it, and then use a rule on that table to bring the data from the view? Or am I over
complicatingthis?</font><p><font size="2"> </font><br /><font size="2">Many Thanks</font><br /><font

2000.When I try an link them using my ODBC data source I always get a dialogue box which says "select unique record

anywayI can stop it?</font>
