Thread: PostGreSQL to Access Updatable recordset
I have a postgresql backend with an access front end and I am trying to redefine the recordset of the form to use an ADO recordset. The problem is that the CursorType always changes to AdOpenStatic, even if I choose adOpenDynamic. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. The form works great for viewing, but I cannot update or insert any new records. Below is the code I am using: connectstr = "DSN=SAP_PG;uid=postgres" Set conn = New ADODB.Connection conn.Open (connectstr) rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient rs.Open "select ProductID,ProductName,ProductTypeID,StockTypeID from Products order by ProductName", conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic Set Me.Recordset = rs Me.Requery The conn object contains the following: Provider=MSDASQL.1;Extended Properties="DSN=SAP_PG;DATABASE=sap;SERVER=10.1.1.76;PORT=5432;UID=username; PWD=password;ReadOnly=0;Protocol=6.4;FakeOidIndex=0;ShowOidColumn=0;RowVersi oning=1;ShowSystemTables=0;ConnSettings=;Fetch=100;Socket=4096;UnknownSizes= 0;MaxVarcharSize=4094;MaxLongVarcharSize=4094;Debug=0;CommLog=0;Optimizer=1; Ksqo=1;UseDeclareFetch=0;TextAsLongVarchar=0;UnknownsAsLongVarchar=0;BoolsAs Char=0;Parse=0;CancelAsFreeStmt=0;ExtraSysTablePrefixes=dd_;;LFConversion=1; UpdatableCursors=1;DisallowPremature=0;TrueIsMinus1=0;BI=0;ByteaAsLongVarBin ary=0;UseServerSidePrepare=0" In answer to your upcoming questions: 1) ProductID is the primary key on the table. 2) I do not want to use linked forms, they go much slower then connecting directly through the ADO recordset. 3) I put a breakpoint right after the open statement and checked the value of rs.CursorType and that is when I saw it was adOpenStatic 4) I am using PostGreSQL 8.0beta1 5) ODBC driver 7.03.02.00

Maybe that's why the ADO driver changes the cursor type from AdOpenDynamic to AdOpenStatic. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[@]dcc.uchile.cl>) "Nunca se desea ardientemente lo que solo se desea por razón" (F.

Try this, Set conn = New ADODB.Connection Conn.open "DNS=SAP_PG;uid=postgres" Set rsE = Conn.Execute(updateSQL) Where updateSQL is your update statement. Check permissions for updates/write for the user you are connecting. - Goutam > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org > [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@postgresql.org] On Behalf Of Sim Zacks > Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 6:53 AM > To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org > Subject: [GENERAL] PostGreSQL to Access Updatable recordset > > > I have a postgresql backend with an access front end and I am > trying to redefine the recordset of the form to use an ADO > recordset.

On second thought, I am now confused. The data is updatable when using linked tables, just not when using ADO recordsets connected to forms. I tried connected to PostGreSQL using DAO, and I got the recordset back, but it was also non-updatable. For the time being I am using Linked Tables, even though it is much slower to open the forms using that methodology. -- Sim Zacks IT Manager Compulab to email me it is sim "the at sign" compulab "the dot" co "the dot" il "Sim Zacks" <sim@nospam.com> wrote in message news:cn6ut7$2r45$1@news.hub.org... > hat pretty much solves my problem.

hat pretty much solves my problem. Also I found that Access doesn'r support ODBC updateable cursors until at least Access 2002 (we're using Access 2000), though I thought I had figured out how to get around that and it didn't work. I assumed the ODBC driver did support updateable cursors simply because there is an option in the driver settings called "Updateable cursor" Thank you for your clarification.

Thank you for your response, however that is not what I am trying to do. I would like to be able to add records and modify data directly in the form. What I was trying to do was grab an ADO recordset and attach it to the form, which works fine, but then the data is not updatable. I found a MS article which states that before Access 2002 ADO recordsets for ODBC sources could not be updated. Linked tables works for updating, and while I didn't want to use them, I am using those for the forms that need to be updateable and dynamic recordsets for the ones that don't.
