I have come upon a very strange way of doing things.  Instead of linking
tables in Access or creating a passthrough query, make a regular select
query with sql like this:

SELECT * FROM tblstusers
 IN '' [ODBC;DSN=pgtestdb;UID=cedarc;PWD=mypassword;DATABASE=testdb];

The result is a query through ODBC to PG that you can edit!  Perhaps you
could call it a "linked query".  Anyway, it does work.  It is a bit slower
than using a passthrough query.  I'm not sure how it compares to a linked
table.  Am I correct in thinking that each query uses a new connection?

Anyone ever done this before?  Thoughts / comments?
