Thread: Create index in PG table with vb6

Create index in PG table with vb6

From

Hi,

I am using the following to write data from an access table to a postgres
table.
I need to create an index on the "partnumber" field in the Bpb (odbc pg
database) so I can seek on that field. Need to be able to locate and update
records that already exist in the postgres table. It appears that the
"partnumber" field is a memo field.

Thanks,

Dan

Dim Pricebooks As dao.Database
Dim PGDB As dao.Database
Dim WrkSpc As Workspace
Dim Bonneville As String
Dim Apb As Recordset
Dim Bpb As Recordset
Dim PBSelection As String
Dim i As Integer

Bonneville =
"DSN=PostgreSQL30;DATABASE=bonneville;UID=postgres;PWD=postgres"


'Open Access table.
Set Pricebooks = OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\Pricebooks.mdb")
Set Apb = Pricebooks.OpenRecordset("pricebook", dbOpenTable)

'Open Postgres table
Set WrkSpc = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set PGDB = WrkSpc.OpenDatabase("", False, False, Bonneville)
Set Bpb = PGDB.OpenRecordset("public.papricebook", dbOpenDynaset)

Hmm, looks like Yahoo crapped out on me and failed to
send the text of my reply (that's my story and I'm
sticking to it ;-) ).  Trying again:

Sounds like your problem field is type text, and your
ODBC driver setting for "Text As LongVarChar" is
"true".  Access will see the field as "memo" type in
that case, and therefore not indexable or searchable.

You could redefine your field as varchar, or unset the
driver option, though that will mean a size limitation
on your fields.
